Chapter 16 Normal Hall

Guan Zhuofan sighed: "Gen Weng, the reader is bitter!" ”

"Bitter?" Wu Ren was stunned, "Uh, this...... What does that mean? The beggar prince made it clear. ”

"Gen Weng," Guan Zhuofan said, "I don't know if you've heard of it?" A few days ago, in Nanhai, Guangdong, there was another '100-year-old child'? The hair is white, you have to be helped to walk, and you have to participate in the 'hospital exam'! After studying hard for 90 years and taking the exam for 80 years, I didn't even get a single talent...... Alas, what a thought! ”

Is there another "100-year-old child"? During the Daoguang period, there was more than one "hundred-year-old child" in Guangdong, why, this time, it was Guangdong again? Over there in Guangdong, how can you get this kind of ...... Uh, well, it is true that the reader is "bitter", but what does this have to do with the restoration of "sticking scriptures" and "ink meaning"?

He didn't know how to answer, so he kept silent.

The road to the imperial examination is very long. Scholars must successively participate in the "county examination" presided over by the prefect and the "government examination" presided over by the prefect to obtain the qualification of "children", and then participate in the "college examination" presided over by the provincial academic administration. Only then can you enter the "county school" and "government school" to study and prepare for the "township test".

"Township Examination" is a unified examination within the province, only "students" are eligible to participate, the examiner is appointed by the imperial court, once every three years, held in the autumn, also known as "Autumn Examination", Chinese style is to lift people.

In the spring of the following year, the "Township Examination" was held, also known as the "Spring Examination". This is a nationwide unified exam, and only lifters are eligible to take it. The "General Examination" was held in Beijing. Hosted by the Ministry of Rites. The examiner was sent by the emperor. The Chinese style is called "Gongshi". "Examination" Chinese style, although the road of the imperial examination has not yet been completed, but after ten years of cold window, even if it has survived.

The "Hui Examination" is held in February, and the following month, in March, the final pass of the imperial examination is held: the "Palace Examination". The "palace examination" was presided over by the emperor himself, and nominally only the "current affairs policy" was examined. However, the vast majority of the exam questions are from the scriptures, in fact, it is just one more "Shiwen" test.

The "Gongshi" will not fall from the "palace examination", but the ranking will be rearranged according to the results of the "palace examination", and it will be divided into "three first", that is, three ranks. "First class" is called "Jinshi and first", there are only three people, which are the three with the best results, which are the champions, the eyes of the list, and the flowers; "Second Grade" is called "Ci Jinshi Origin"; The "top three" is called "the birth of the same Jinshi". First, second, and third. They are all commonly known as "Jinshi". The entry is out of the list, written on yellow paper. called the "Gold List", this is the "Gold List Title".

Again, back to business.

"A few days ago," Guan Zhuofan arched his hand in vain, and then said slowly, "The Queen Mother took an article and asked me: What is written on it?" Why can't you understand it at all? I took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a 'Shiwen'. Gen Weng, to tell you the truth, I frowned and looked at it for a long time, and I only understood half of itβ€”ouch, it made me so embarrassed! ”

Belch......

When he said this, Guan Zhuofan also looked like he was "frowning", but this time, the "embarrassed" one was Wu Ren.

"Compare hearts to hearts," Guan Zhuofan said, "'Shiwen' is indeed too difficult!" That class of '100-year-old children', isn't it just that they can't pass the level of 'Shiwen'? On this side, the four words 'Haoshou Poor Sutra' are not a single word! Alas, Gen Weng, why should the reader be embarrassed by the reader? ”

Wu Ren's old face turned red slightly.

"I think," Guan Zhuofan continued, "whether it's 'Shiwen', 'Sticking the Scriptures' or 'Moyi', the test is all about the scriptures, if you are not good at 'Shiwen', but you are proficient in 'Sticking the Scriptures' and 'Moyi', it seems that it is not good to say that the candidates have not read and read the scriptures and meanings, right?" Gen Weng, I think, if the 'Shiwen' misses, but the 'Sticking the Sutra' and 'Moyi' are Chinese, the Jingyi together can also be regarded as the candidate's Chinese style - this can be regarded as an additional way out for readers! ”

This sounds so reasonable, but I always feel that something is not quite right......

"Lord Wang," said Wu Ren hesitantly, "in this way, the Chinese examinee ...... Could it be, uh, a little too much? I mean, after the palace exam, will there be too many people from Jinshi, uh, will there be a little bit more? This, uh, can the court arrange it? ”

As soon as the words came out, I regretted it, if my words were spread, someone would say: What? Wu Gong Feng actually didn't want more Chinese-style readers? What kind of heart does he have? Isn't it...... Well, I'm afraid that the latecomers will rob him of the old master's job?

Fortunately, Guan Zhuofan didn't seem to think about it at all, and looked like he had a big package: "I can arrange it!" Serious talents, just too little, not too much! At present, there are hundreds of wastes to be raised, all industries are thriving, Gen Weng, please see, in the next ten years, there will be more places to employ people than in the previous 100 years combined! ”

sneered slightly in his heart: Do you think that "sticking scriptures" and "Moyi" are considered "Chinese"? How can there be such a cheap thing! Have you forgotten that there is still a hurdle of "current affairs"? Only when you cross the hurdle of "current policy" can you be regarded as a "talent"; If you can't cross it, the Chinese style of "pasting scriptures" and "Moyi" is useless, and the Chinese style of "Shiwen" is useless!

He really couldn't think of any reason to object, but he couldn't just nod his head. In addition to instinctively feeling uneasy about the drastic change -- although Guan Zhuofan took great pains to package this change with "restoring the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties" -- he always felt that there was something strange here, but his mind had not yet turned a corner, and he had not yet thought clearly and understood it.

However, Guan Zhuofan's eyes were scorching, and his momentum did not allow him to delay for a long time, Wu Ren held back for a while, his face was red, and then he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, there are more than 1,600 'current affairs instructors', the number is not small, in a hurry, where can the imperial court find so many talents who are proficient in current affairs?" ”

"Good question, Gen Wen!" Guan Zhuofan said, "I really can't get so many talents at hand, so I want to set up a school first to cultivate talents who are proficient in current affairs!" If you do it quickly, you will be out of the school in one or two years! Well, 'teachers, role models', this school is called ...... 'Normal Hall', how about it? ”

"'Normal Hall'? Ah, what a ......."

As soon as the word "good" came out, Guan Zhuofan immediately stroked his palms and laughed: "Good!" Gen Weng praised his work, this restored the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties, opened the department to take scholars, added 'current affairs', added 'pasting scriptures, Moyi', and annoyed Gen Weng's big pen, led the performance, the king and the whole class of military aircraft, and attached Ji Wei! ”

What the?!
