Chapter 35: Effectiveness

"Everyone, please get up!" Chong Yanfeng and the others got off the horse and helped Wang Lun and the others up, Chong Yanfeng held Wang Lun's arm, "Don't hide it from Brother Wang, I will also go to participate in the Autumn Festival this year, if Brother is willing, it is better to go with me!" "When it comes to Qiuqiu, it is the biggest pain in Wang Lun's life, and Wang Lun's tragic life is also destined.

The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty is not the rigid model of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial examination system of the Northern Song Dynasty is changing almost every moment is innovating, with the progress and development of the imperial examination, a kind of atmosphere that only emphasizes the profession and disdains to accept systematic knowledge is getting heavier and heavier.

The first is the Xingxue movement led by Fan Zhongyan in the Qingli New Deal, Fan Shengren compared learning and should be regarded as hard work and harvest, if only the imperial examination is emphasized and education is neglected, it is to want to get something for nothing. Fan Shengren said: It is important to choose the virtuous, but if you choose not to teach, you will lack people for a long time, and the virtuous will not continue! Therefore, teaching is the first, and the choice is second, and the Qingli New Deal has created the highest institution of learning that has influenced the future generations for thousands of years - Taixue!

With the failure of the Qingli New Deal, this vigorous Xingxue movement had to come to an end, but this movement laid the foundation for Wang Anshi to launch a larger scale of reform in the future! The second great revival movement in the Northern Song Dynasty was launched by Wang Anshi during the Xining Reform, Wang Anshi believed that in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army, it was necessary to teach, raise, and take talents in their own way! He advocated the need to unify the education, training, selection, and appointment of qualified personnel.

In the fourth year of Xining, Taixue has developed quite a scale, and the imperial court approved the plan for further expansion of Taixue in Zhongshu Province, and Taixue has been better developed, and a relatively perfect three-round system has been established, which is the famous three-round method of the Northern Song Dynasty!

The specific content and form of the three-way method have been mentioned above, and it is not repeated at this moment, but the practical results of its beginning are not obvious, until Cai Jing of this dynasty promoted the third Xingxue movement in the Northern Song Dynasty, the three-round method was carried forward, and the Song Huizong of Chongning ordered in the fifth year of the Song Dynasty, after which the scholars were promoted by the school, and the state and county and the Ministry of Rites were all canceled! As a result, the five Jinshi who were admitted were all monopolized by the candidates who went to the Taixue School!

The white-clothed scholar Wang Lun is the victim of this change, Wang Lun is a scholar who has landed, but there are a few scholars who can get it at one time, then Wang Lun is at the peak of his youth, Wang Lun, who is in good condition and has two imperial examination experiences, is already full of confidence, but what he ushered in is the news of the change of the national scholar system, the imperial examination of the state and county has been cancelled, and it is not that the students are not even qualified for the exam, Wang Lun almost collapsed......

Wang Lun, who endured all kinds of helplessness and heartache, began to study again at the "advanced age" of the past year, preparing to go from the county to the state school and then enter Taixue to achieve fame, but we must be clear that the three-way method also has drawbacks, first of all, not all schools are well-equipped and have strong teachers, and education in some remote areas is still very simple! But even so, Wang Lun still got the opportunity to pay tribute under the hard work!

Then Wang Lun had to face the second drawback of the three-way method, the time to raise the tribute was too long, and it was really difficult for the children of the poor family to help unless someone helped them! Over the years, he has spent too much money on studying, and Wang Lun's pocket, which is not productive, has long been empty, and the people in the family are not optimistic about him.

People are more willing to invest their money in young talents who have a lot of room for development, rather than a Wang Lun who has repeatedly failed to succeed in his thirties, so Wang Lun's path to study is facing an early death here due to poverty. However, let's not underestimate Wang Lun's perseverance, after selling his property and smashing the pot and selling iron, he still resisted the past, and at this time the examination system changed again, and the provincial examination and the Ministry of Rites examination resumed, and stood together with the three-way method.

Wang Lun almost cried with joy when he heard the news, and went to prepare for the exam with confidence, but the exam was resumed, but the content of the exam was changed, adding criminal law and Taoism, the criminal law exam was in the Xining years, and now it is not particularly surprising that it has been added back, Wang Lun, the old fritter, is also prepared, and it is not a big problem to study hard, but what the hell is the Taoist scripture?

It's obviously your Song Huizong's personal preference, okay, but the rules are the rules, what are you the emperor of the Nai family? As a result, Wang Lun fell off the list again, this time he was really poor and white, and his family treated him even more blindly, Wang Lun burned all the books in grief, and then took refuge in Chai Jin......

Now listening to Chong Yanfeng's invitation to participate in the imperial examination again, Wang Lun's expression was inevitably in a trance, and after relieving himself, Wang Lun smiled bitterly, recalling the most painful experience in his life, even if he faced the strong Chong Yanfeng, he had no scruples, only to see Wang Lun cross his eyebrows and said coldly: "I respect Langjun so much, why does Xiao Langjun entertain me with this matter?" ”

Chong Yanfeng didn't care, still smiling, "Brother Wang can say this?" ”

"I'm not too much of a student, even if I start learning from scratch at this moment, when I enter Taixue, my beard will be white, not to mention the provincial palace examination, so can the amount be distributed to me, and I will also take the Rausch imperial examination!" Wang Lun was furious in his chest, the imperial examination was the biggest rebellion in his life, and his life and safety were ranked behind.

"I haven't entered the county school or state school, but I can still be a national student to participate in the autumn festival!" Chong Yanfeng looked confident, "As long as there is a relationship and money, it is not difficult for Brother Wang to become a son of the country!" ”

"Ahh Wang Lun only then reacted that there is a big loophole in the three-way method, and the children of the official eunuchs can even enter the school without examination, which is the third drawback of the three-way method - the wind of going through the back door is serious, and the world evaluates it: "This law is not good for the low, the young is not good for the old, and the rich is not good for the poor!" ”

As for the last drawback of the three-way method, it is the burden on the imperial court, the cost of national education is too huge, even in today's society, it is difficult to achieve perfection, not to mention the ancient feudal superstition, but this has nothing to do with the few people present, Wang Lun is most concerned about the words of Yanfeng.

Wang Lun, who was still angry and fearless one second, turned back into a lamb the next second, only to see him bow his head again and say: "My subordinates were excited just now and almost collided with the Yanei, and I hope that the Yanai will not care!" Wang Lun's words are quite artistic, first of all, a subordinate shows that he has taken refuge in you, are you embarrassed to be angry with the person who just took refuge? Another sentence that almost collided shows that the degree of his fault is also very low.

With this sentence alone, Chong Yanfeng realized that although the person in front of him was not capable, he was still a usable person. Of course, as a future person who has received nine years of compulsory education and then took the college entrance examination and then went to graduate school, he also understands Wang Lun's mood very well, the ancient exams are more harsh than those of later generations, it is a battle with no way back and room for maneuver, and it has become a soaring sky, and it is better to lose the pig and dog!

"Get up!" Chong Yanfeng's expression was flat, "If Brother Wang still has the strength, I can help you get a chance, but whether you can win or not depends on yourself!" ”

"Yes, it's all mental strength!" Wang Lun was already in tears, and he also had a lot of money in his hand after falling into the grass, Wang Lun did think about continuing to fight a few times in his career, but unfortunately he was no longer innocent, and Wang Lun did not have the way to be a son of the country, and the heart of the imperial examination had to slowly cool down, Wang Lun's meanness to Lin Chong and others was related to his past failure experience, and character determines fate!

"Get up, you're on my business!" Chong Yanfeng stretched out his hand to help Wang Lun, he could be sure that at this moment, the big boss of Liang Shanbo had completely surrendered to him, and with Wang Lun as an example, it would be easier for others to return to their hearts!

A few people just held their arms and were about to go up to Liangshan when they heard a report from a little minion, "Qi Qi all the leaders, I found that the large group of people and horses were rushing in our direction, and the small ones estimated that there were no less than a thousand people!" ”

With a grunt, Wang Lun, Du Qian and the others swallowed and spat at the mouth, joking, they have only five or seven hundred people in Liangshan for many years, and there are thousands of people on the other side, how can they not scare them.

"Don't worry, it's your own people!" Chong Da Shao said with a smile, but he didn't expect that there would be not only Luda Zhou Tong Yanshun and his gang, but also several heroes he was familiar with and looked forward to for a long time, which was all thanks to the results of his money buying horse bones at the beginning!
