The so-called "廪生" means a student who is supported by the state.

The so-called "proliferation" refers to the "enlargement of students" in addition to the state-supported students.

And "epiphysis" is the end of all beings other than hyperplasia, which belongs to "additional admission".

The reason why there is a difference between "enlarged" and "extra" is because in the earliest imperial examinations, there were no state examinations and palace examinations, and the Xiucai who passed the government examination could directly enter Beijing to take the Jinshi examination, and in order to get stuck in the number of Xiucai who entered Beijing, the number of Xiucai in the government examination was set to death, and the number was small, such as the entire Linjiang County, there were a total of eight counties around, and the Xiucai was only ten places.

However, later, in order to further select talents, the state examination was added, and the state examination was used to further select talents, and the government examination also increased the number of talents, which is called "enlargement".

Later, in order to prevent officials born in the imperial examination from holding together in the name of teachers and students, the imperial family added the palace examination after the examination, and the Son of Heaven personally presided over the reading of the manuscript. In the past, the one who would try out was the Jinshi, but now the only one who will try out is the "Gongsheng", and all the Jinshi must be selected by the Son of Heaven and called the "Son of Heaven's protégé", and in the government examination, the number of students has been additionally increased, that is, "epiphysis".

It is precisely because of this that the same Xiucai has the difference between epigenesis, hyperplasia, and epiphysia, and there is no doubt that the epiphysia is the upper and the epiphytic is the lower.

And the head of the case is the most important of all students.

At this moment, the prefect's authority and authority diverged, and the whole city was solemn, and even the lively vegetable market several miles away was quiet. Everyone knows that the prefect is going to announce the "head" of this government examination.

In the square, every candidate bowed his head, and his heart was worried that he had not yet been named, even if he knew that there was no hope, he still couldn't help but hold a trace of luck, hoping for a miracle. And the epigenesis, hyperplasia, and hypogenesis who have been named also want to know who is the best among them.

The prefect Dian Hongguan Wei diverged, and in the eyes of everyone, he became extremely tall, he spread out the list and looked around: "The head of this case - Ningjiang!! ”

Immediately, all the candidates looked at the youngest boy standing in the center of the crowd at the same time.

There was a bang outside the court, Lu Xifu, who didn't expect Ning Jiang to really take the first test, was stunned and speechless, and Xiaomeng, who was extremely excited, didn't care about what Lu Xifu said just now, and hugged Lu Xifu and jumped with joy.

Even the fourth grandmother of the Qing Dynasty and the hot girl didn't expect that the master of the Ning Mansion would be admitted to the first place, and they were surprised and surprised. In the restaurant on the other side, Cao Qiding, who was already about to leave, and the other four stopped in astonishment and looked at each other...... That kid actually passed the first test?

Epistudents can only enter the county school, hyperplasia can enter the county school, and the students can enter the state school. And the head of the head of the prefect, as long as there is no problem with his conduct after the prefect's inspection, he can go directly to Beijing and enter the country.

Is there any problem with Ningjiang's conduct? Is it good for people to be filial piety?

If there is a problem with filial piety, isn't that a slap in the face of the prefect?

Cao Qiding regretted it all of a sudden...... If you knew it earlier, you shouldn't recommend this kid to be filial piety. As soon as this kid entered Beijing, they really didn't have anything to do with him.

The person who became the head of this government examination turned out to be Ningjiang, who only completed the crown ceremony last year and was the youngest among all the candidates, which surprised many people for a while. And Ning Jiang himself is not too surprised by this, after all, he is aiming for the champion, if he can't get the case capital of the government test, then it is better to die as soon as possible to get the champion.

At the moment, Dian Hong encouraged those candidates who did not pass the exam, and after he encouraged them, the unsuccessful ones could only disperse on their own.

Next, Dian Hong, Sang Lezhi, and Ou Yongchang led all the Xiucai into the mansion and bowed down together to the statue of Confucius.

After the worship, Xuezheng Sang Lezhi said loudly: "Please "Three Strategies of Heaven and Man"! ”

Three pairs of boys and girls came to the three adults holding three rolls of bamboo slips. Dian Hong, Sang Lezhi, and Ou Yongchang each held a bamboo slip, spread it out, and the ancestral spirit of the eyebrows and the heart of the inscription was ejected, and the literary qi was injected into the bamboo slips together.

This bamboo slip was issued by the Hanlin Academy, and the book in the slip is the "Three Strategies of Heaven and Man" written by the great Confucian Dong Tianshu 800 years ago.

It is also the "Three Strategies of Heaven and Man" that opened the 800-year Confucian era.

As the three adults from Jinshi finished reciting the "Three Strategies of Heaven and Man" together, three rays of light shot out from the three bamboo slips, and at the same time shone on the statue of the Confucian sage, and the divine qi rushed to the Doufu, and the Wendi Star Palace sympathized with each other, and the image of the Confucian sage shined. In the light, the three adults turned around at the same time and said in unison: "The king of the text, be the man of Tu!" Affected by the heavens, De Shi Fang! Student Ningjiang, come forward to worship the saints! ”

Ning Jiang, the head of the case, stepped forward and bowed to the statue of Emperor Wen, and a majestic aura shot out from the eyes of Sage Kong, blasting into his eyebrows, as if there was a mysterious palace, suddenly opened in his eyebrows, and at that moment, Ning Jiang sensed the mysterious connection between Emperor Wen in the sky and him.

Sympathy between heaven and man, Wenqu empowerment!!

……

As the head of the case, Ning Jiang was the first to walk out of the gate, and in front of him, firecrackers roared, crackling and chaotic, and the firelight swam like a snake, with bursts of gunsmoke. I don't know how many people came to congratulate them, including the heads of the clans who came to join each other, the neighbors, and the congratulatory people who begged for money.

Ning Jiang smiled and coped with the past one by one, as for the reward money issued to everyone, he didn't need to do it, these people who split the family were already rushing to help him distribute it.

The patriarch has a fame, which is a good thing for the whole clan, you know, all the land under Xiucai's name is exempt from paying field tax, which is naturally useless for the poor Xiucai, who has no land and no land, but the Ning family was originally the landlord of Gaosuo County, and Ning Jiang is the patriarch, and all the land and property under his name are exempt from paying field tax, and this alone can make the entire Gaosuo Ning clan get a lot of benefits.

What's more, although the Gaosuo Ning clan used to be a squire, in the eyes of many people, it was actually just a rich man, but now, the patriarch has a reputation, who dares to say that they are not "squires"?

Our patriarch is a well-known scholar.

Since the prevalence of the imperial examination and the large-scale reduction of feudal domains 400 years ago, the gentry system has basically completely replaced the gate valve, and the word "squire" is closely associated with the imperial examination. This is not just a matter of façade, because with fame can be exempted from land tax, once the harvest is not good, ordinary people can not pay the field tax, so they can only rely on the squire, become tenants, how many squires rely on this to get a lot of benefits?

In addition, Xiucai has the right to write to the government and assist the government in deciding prison cases, which is also just a false name for the poor Xiucai who has no money and no wealth, but for the rich landlord who originally had land, land, money and wealth, "money" and "power" are linked together, and the nature is obviously different.

Of course, some far-sighted people in the imperial court also realized that the "squire" was often the main culprit in the land annexation and the displacement of the poor, so various systems such as the integrated payment of grain by the officials and gentry also tried to be introduced, but there is no doubt that all of them died young, and even none of the officials who dared to propose such a policy came to a good end.

And more officials, who were originally the beneficiaries of this squire system, where would they dismantle their own platforms?

The patriarch has a fame, and he is also the head of the case, which makes the people of the Ning family rejoice...... Fortunately, last year didn't let Ning Ji's fool succeed.

Otherwise, it's a big loss!!
