Chapter 944: The Battle of Caoliang

A few years later, when people evaluate Wen Yanbo, they will compare this time with the dragon and tiger list of Jiayou's second year, and some people even believe that it is the talents of Xiucai who provided a strong administrative bureaucrat to ensure the smooth implementation of the reform of the Great Song Dynasty, and Wen Xianggong also became the greatest educator!

It's just that only Lao Wen knows how much he wants to scold people at the moment!

Expand the number of students, increase the proportion of admissions, and recruit talents...... Sounds good, but some people eat more, some people eat less, obviously, the children of the family will have a more difficult life in the future, don't think about getting fame easily, if you really want to mix with officialdom, you must also work hard from the bottom, climb up one level at a time, and show real skills in order to be reused.

This is true of his sons, grandchildren!

Can Lao Wen not want to scold?

But what can you do with scolding, Wang Ningan is hard-hearted, he cooperates, and he can get a main exam, if he doesn't cooperate, with Wang Ningan's black heart, he promises to implicate himself with the unlucky guys in the southeast, and it will be difficult to get out.

But...... Don't think you, Wang Ning'an, are smart, the old man won't be able to wrestle with you.

Things in the southeast are irreparable, but the old man still has one trick, which is enough to completely turn the tables!

And it just so happens that your kid is promoting local reforms and adding governors, this is a godsend, you kid wait and see, the old man will definitely give you an unforgettable lesson!

Wen Yanbo is not optimistic about the southeast at all, and he has no heart to pull those families along.

Since it is destined to be finished, let the old man take the opportunity to make a little more capital! also saved Wang Ningan to leave.

With this judgment, Wen Yanbo took out ten times his spirit and went all out.

I have to say that the enthusiasm of the Chinese people for taking the exam has not changed at all since ancient times...... Regardless of the chaotic world, as long as you open a science and take a scholar, you will always attract literati to rush to it desperately.

No, when the news of Xiucaike was posted, the southeast was boiling.

Jiangning, Runzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou, and Xiuzhou are all areas that attach great importance to education.

When they saw the news of Xiucaike, many people were thrilled, especially when they saw the number of admissions, which made them dizzy with happiness!

10,000, 10,000!

What a blessing it is!

The young scholar was so drunk that he immediately packed his bags and went straight to the various government offices to prepare for the exam...... Almost instantly, the chaos in Jiangnan was replaced by the good news of Xiucaike, and people were immersed in a sea of happiness.

"The eye sockets are shallow, and there is no interest!"

Zheng Xia took a sip fiercely, full of disdain.

Isn't it just a showmanship?

If you take the exam, you are just a clerk, what is it, the imperial examination is the king! Ten years of cold window, the top of the exam, Zhonghanlin, ten years and twenty years, you can dominate the world, compared to what show talent, much stronger!

Zheng Xia despises it, but in the hearts of ordinary scholars, he doesn't see it that way at all, you are a full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, the imperial examination is good, one step to the sky, but so many people are admitted to each subject, the children of officials, and the descendants of the family, almost more than half of them are divided, and the few left for the children of the poor family are pitiful.

And only those geniuses who are extremely proficient in kung fu, talented, and very lucky darlings can successfully pass the exam, and most of them are just tied up.

Xiucai is different, just two ways, you have to recruit 10,000 people, and the opportunity is big all of a sudden.

Moreover, the requirements for the essay have also been greatly relaxed, as long as the writing is smooth, you can pass the basic exam...... The rest of the criminal law, accounting, finance, acres, civil affairs...... In all aspects of the assessment, you can choose your own strengths to participate, and some students who are serious about the subject can see hope.

Although he is only a scribe of the yamen, he is a good leader of the imperial court, eats the imperial grain, and is promoted and rewarded in the future, and only looks at the performance, regardless of academic qualifications, why can't he climb from a scribe to the ruler?

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Yun is the best example, only a few months, a cell boss, he has become a governor, a feudal official, in this crazy era, if you miss a good opportunity, you will regret it for a lifetime......

Look, the innkeeper's son, the descendants of the proprietors of the trading houses, the small local landlords, the children of the wealthy families, and even the side houses of some large families, they also quietly packed their bags and went to take the exam.

This is the beauty of using Wen Yanbo, if Wang Ningan personally takes the exam, it will inevitably cause misunderstanding, and many people may not come.

But Wen Yanbo is different, in the eyes of most people, Wen Yanbo is still an elegant prime minister, a representative of scholars, and the conscience of literati...... Well, he doesn't have much conscience...... All in all, because of Wen Yanbo, many of the family's partial brothers have an excuse to convince themselves.

Take a look, I'm going to take Wen Xianggong's exam, not Wang Ningan's exam!

Sometimes self-deception can be very effective.

In this way, the number of people who took the exam from all over the country exceeded 100,000!

I have to say that this is a difficult job, Rao is an experienced old man, and he is also very busy.

"Zhang Yun, the governor of the southeast of Xiaguan, meet Xianggong Wen!"

Wen Yanbo looked at the black and thin guy in front of him, and he didn't know what to say.

"Master Zhang, it seems that you are not from Shilin, how do you know how to judge talent in the exam?"

Zhang Yun smiled, "Xianggong Wen, the lower officials are not here to preside over the Xiucai Section, please rest assured that the lower officials are just here to supervise the exam, check whether the candidates have cheating, and whether the admission is fair!" ”

"Humph!"

Wen Yanbo is so angry, what kind of thing is Zhang Yun, a few months ago, he was still an ant, even now, he is a grasshopper, a dog fighting people, and he dares to supervise the old man, it is really against the sky! Lao Wen's beard was cocked, but in a blink of an eye, he laughed again.

"It should, it should!"

Wen Yanbo said: "The first talent show must be done well, it must be fair and just, and the admission is really useful talents, after all, the old man is old and has little energy, so I have to ask Mr. Zhang to take care of it!" ”

Zhang Yun didn't seem to hear the ridicule in Wen Yanbo's words, but his expression was solemn, "This show of talent, not only the prince, but also the prince of the king, attaches great importance to it, and must not let them down!" ”

"Phew!"

Wen Yanbo took a sip in his heart, that is because you are afraid of them, so the old man doesn't take them seriously! Although he slandered, it was useless to be angry, and Wen Xianggong really wanted to do a good job in this exam, just like that, both sides couldn't see each other, but they couldn't help but work together.

After the 10th, the Xiucai Department officially opened the examination, and after another 10 days, the admission list was announced, and a total of more than 13,000 people were admitted, and these people had to go through a round of interviews, and then 3,000 people were brushed, and the remaining lucky ones could immediately enter the various yamen.

Not to mention anything else, in Suzhou alone, Zhang Yun cut nearly a thousand people back and forth, as well as the river yamen, so many empty positions, all waiting for the big guy!

It is worth mentioning that the people admitted this time are not nerds, many of them have practical experience, and they are very fast to get started, and they are familiar with government affairs in less than a month.

From the various states and counties, as well as the rivers, including the governor's yamen, all of them have a new look, full of fresh blood, and full of energy.

The first thing to greet the big guy is the autumn harvest, followed by the shipment of grain, the southeast is the important wealth of the imperial court, and it is an important source of food, there must be no problems!

Wang Ningan came in person, he was very relieved, and his words were excited.

"This king has calculated, your average age is less than 25 years old, and some people are not even 20 years old, it is full of enthusiasm and want to make contributions, the court has given the stage to the big guys, it depends on how you behave!"

"I can tell the big guys that Cao Liang has been targeted for a long time, and they want to use Cao Liang and Cao Yun to threaten the imperial court and even destroy the law. The situation you face is complex and difficult, but I believe that the big guys will be able to handle it. ”

"I also want to tell a story, that is, our Hanlin Bachelor, Su Shi Su Dacaizi, in order to be able to talk to ordinary Caokou Liba, he personally cooked meat and sold it on the street...... Everyone asks themselves, how are you more talented than Su? If he can mingle with the people, will you? Remember, no matter how many difficulties there are, as long as you stand on the side of the people and communicate properly, you will definitely be able to solve the problem, you all remember, don't think that when you enter the yamen, you are a superior person, you can call the wind and rain, you must really bend down and really do things......"

Wang Ningan said a lot, for these rookies, it is no less than a slap in the face, waking them up from the joy of being an official, yes, Su Shi can pay so much hard work, what are they missing!

Anyway, the big guy's family is not very good, hardship is commonplace, and there is nothing remarkable!

Sure enough, after Wang Ning'an's speech, everyone's motivation came up, and their work became more delicate. Since there is no landlord in the family, they need to go to the place in person, communicate with each family, ask them to send the grain on time, and then organize the transportation capacity, move the grain to the warehouse by the canal, and wait for the shipment......

On Wang Ning'an's side, everything went smoothly, and on the Hangzhou side, the people of Donglin Academy, as well as some children of the family, got together again.

But they are like mourning, and disaster is coming!

Everyone's face was full of helplessness, and they were very frightened to find that there were fewer and fewer forces at their disposal...... First the tenant farmers were snatched away, and then a show of talent, the middle level was also taken away, and what is even more infuriating is that the big family also began to disintegrate, those partial brothers, in order to be officials, actually ran to tie up Wang Ning'an, to participate in the show of talent, it is really a shame for the ancestors!

Liu Xin looked ten years older, and he said slowly: "Wang Ning'an is pressing step by step, I believe that he will soon go south to Hangzhou, do you continue to fight, or ...... Let's all talk about it! ”

"Don't throw in the towel!" The representative of the Qian family stood up, "Ladies and gentlemen, although the Cao Gang has been defeated, there are still two teams to use...... If we throw in the towel, there will be nothing! ”

After hesitating, the other families also nodded together, "That's right, fight with Wang Ning'an!" Let him know how good we are! ”

Suddenly, there was a shout of war, and there was a lot of noise......
