It's spring break soon, and the county Cheng thought that he could breathe a sigh of relief, but the court always didn't appoint the magistrate, so that he, the county magistrate who took over the duties of the magistrate, was like sitting on pins and needles, and his life was really difficult.

One trouble was in front of him, that is, the county government recommended the prisoners.

The so-called recommendation of supervisors, that is, the recommendation of students with excellent character in the county, to study in the capital Guozijian, generally for about two to three years, after coming out of the Guozijian, do not call it tribute students, this kind of tribute students can go to the government school, state school and county school to teach students, can also become the staff of officials at all levels, and can also participate in the township examination.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of tribute students who came out of the Guozijian could directly be officials, and the officials would be appointed, but now there is no such possibility, because the people who will try to fall off the list, as well as the people who will be on the deputy list, will also enter the Guozijian to study, they generally study for about a year, they are also called tribute students, and those who will try to fail can choose to accept the appointment of the Ministry of Officials, be a low-level official, or they can choose to go home and continue to review their homework and participate in the next examination, but if they accept the appointment of the Ministry of Officials, Then you will not be able to participate in future examinations.

As for the people on the sub-list, after coming out of the Guozijian, most of them also went to the prefecture, state and county schools to teach students.

Not every student is qualified to go to Guozijian to study, you must know that Guozijian's Five Classics Doctorate, Teaching Assistant, Xuezheng and Xuelu, etc., are all from the two lists of Jinshi, with rich knowledge, if you can get their professors, it is a hundred times stronger than in the government, state and county schools, and after studying in Guozijian, the possibility of the next township examination high school is much greater.

Therefore, every year, the yamen of Fuzhou and county recommends the inmates who enter the Guozi Prison to study, which is a very important thing, and it is generally decided directly by the prefect, the prefect and the magistrate of the county.

The Ming Guozijian is divided into the Beijing Guozijian and the Nanjing Guozijian, the students from the north go to the capital Guozijian to study, and the students from the south go to Nanjing Guozijian to study.

The situation in Mizhi County is different, and the county governor has not taken office for more than half a year.

Under normal circumstances, two places are recommended in three years, and the county government sends people to send the list to the provincial capital, and after summarizing it to the governor's yamen, it is reported to the Ministry of Rites, and finally the Ministry of Rites issues a notice to inform the Guozijian of the list of students who have obtained the study qualification.

In fact, the matter of recommending supervisors should have been done a long time ago, and after the township examination is over, this matter must be handled immediately, so that the recommended students can go to the country to study with the people on the deputy list of the township examination.

Ye Kaiyi is in this situation, he got a recommendation, and he can go directly to the capital, and the class will start in February after the Guozi Jian New Year, and the time difference between the time and the exam is not very much.

The county can't make a decision directly.

The five major families in Mizhi County, the power of the He family was the strongest in the past, such a quota is generally obtained by the He family, and the rest of the families rarely have a chance, but now the situation is different, seeing the gradual decline of the He family, especially after the death of the former patriarch He Fangzhen, it has a slump in taste, and the first family in Mizhi County is no longer the Wu family.

If it was the county magistrate, he would have contacted the patriarch of the Wu family a long time ago, but the county was not good at doing so, if the Wu family sent someone to the county government to talk about this matter, then the county could push the boat down the river and promise to come down, but until Layue, none of the five major families in the county mentioned this matter to the county government.

This year's quota must not be wasted, because the township examination has just ended, and there are many students in each county who have fallen off the list, and only Wu Fanhui is the only one in Mizhi County, and so many other students are looking forward to going to Guozijian to study, and many students in this matter know that in the end, if no one goes to Guozijian to study, it will be difficult for the county government to shirk the involvement.

Seeing that the spring break was approaching day by day, the helpless county finally decided to go to Wu Mianqing, the patriarch of the Wu family, in person.

The county Cheng did not go directly to Wu Mianqing's mansion, he sent the officer, found Wu Mianqing, Wu Mianqing immediately came to the county office, the county Cheng was very direct, saying that the number of prisoners sent to Guozijian to study in the county this year has not yet been determined, Wu Mianqing is highly respected, help the county government to think about which student should be recommended to the capital Guozijian to study.

The county also specially informed Wu Mianqing that the candidate must be determined in the fastest time, otherwise the county government will not have time to submit the list to the governor's yamen.

When Wu Fanhui came to the wing of the ancestral hall, Wu Mianqing was waiting.

"Qian Jue, Lord Cheng of the county has just come to me and asked about recommending students to study in Guozijian, I want to hear your opinion."

"Patriarch, what are the requirements for this recommender."

"The requirements of the imperial court must be a student of good character, but it has been loosened over the years, as long as it is an increase, it is also eligible to enter the Guozijian to study."

"Is the patriarch elected?"

"No, my Wu family has been very withered in recent years, and there are almost no candidates to recommend, because of this, I want to discuss with you, if you get to the bottom of it, you may be able to find a candidate in the family."

Wu Fanhui thought for a moment and quickly spoke.

"Patriarch, since this is the case, Qian Jue believes that the Wu family should not recommend the people of their own clan, if they are reluctant to find personnel, it will be a waste in the end, and the impact is not very good, now Mr. Guo is very strict with the students of the school, I believe that next year's county examination and government examination, there will definitely be some success, and there may be people who can pass the college examination, and at that time, the family will recommend students to study in the country, and they will also be able to convince the public."

"Yes, I think the same way, but I don't know which family to recommend."

Wu Fanhui has some discussions, since it is the same idea, it is said earlier, where do you need to talk more, but this recommendation personnel needs to be seriously considered, the Wu family is slowly growing, and it is also necessary to envelop other families in the county.

"Patriarch, the Wang family has four members of the Wang family, and they all went to Xi'an Fucheng to participate in the township test this time, Qian Jue thinks that the Wang family should still be considered."

"Qian Jue, I thought you would recommend the He family's students."

"No, even if the He family has a suitable candidate, it should not be recommended this time, after so many years, the He family has received too many benefits, they should also be more restrained, the Wu family will not fall into the ground, it is already the biggest face given to the He family, as for other benefits, the He family does not need to consider it for the time being."

A smile appeared on Wu Mianqing's face and he nodded in satisfaction.

A day later, the patriarch of the Wang family made a special trip to meet Wu Mianqing.

The Wang family never dreamed that their family would be able to recommend a member of the school to study in the capital Guozijian, and this kind of thing was unthinkable in the past, although the Wang family is also a big family in Mizhi County, but there is a big gap in strength, especially if there is no one in the family, this is the most fatal problem, but it is not something that can be piled up by money.

The four members of the Wang family, but relying on their own skills to really get in, which has also become the capital that the Wang family is proud of, but unfortunately, several township examinations have been fruitless, if you can send a student to study in Guozijian, the township examination after three years will have a great hope of high school.

The patriarch expressed his loyal gratitude to the Wu family and Wu Mianqing.

Two days later, Wang Bingkun, a member of the Wang family, made a special trip to visit Wu Fanhui.

After entering the house, Wang Bingkun saluted Wu Fanhui is head, Wang Bingkun is also a famous scholar, and he was so excited in the face of Wu Fanhui.

"I really didn't expect that Wu Gongzi's mind is unmatched by no one in Mizhi County. . . ."

"Brother Zhaoyu, don't be so polite, just call me Qianjue, this question of the qualifications of the prisoner, Brother Zhaoyu is completely qualified, I just helped to say it, the real decision is still the county government and the county Cheng."

Of course, Wang Bingkun would not believe that it was the county government that helped, and the patriarch of the family had come to thank Wu Mianqing, the patriarch of the Wu family, and learned from Wu Mianqing that it was Wu Fanhui who really determined the candidate.

The last time I went to Xi'an Fucheng to participate in the township test, Wang Bingkun set off with He Xinxuan, and after the township test, he also returned with He Xinxuan, and he did not visit Wu Fanhui for more than two months in Xi'an Fucheng, and more importantly, after Wu Fanhui Township Examination High School, they did not go to express congratulations, which has lost the courtesy, and Wu Fanhui did not care about these things, and specially gave the list of supervisors in Mizhi County this year to the Wang family.

"The kindness of the Qianjue brothers, I have kept it in mind, think about the attitude towards the Qianjue brothers in the past, it is really shameless in the future, if there is anything between the Wu family and the Qianjue brothers, I will do my best."

In just over a month, Wu Fanhui convinced the He family and the Wang family to be truly convinced, which made Wu Mianqing very emotional, the Wu family has changed a lot, and some controversial shops in the county have no problems now, all of which belong to the Wu family, not to mention the land.

What's more critical is that the Wu family's account has silver in it, and the expenses are much more generous, more than ten years ago, the Guo family, Wu Qingtan and others have almost scavenged the money and grain in the family account, making the account room an empty shell, and the ownership of the mortgaged shops and land has also become blurred, if it weren't for Wu Fanhui's efforts to turn the tide, the Wu family would have fallen by now.

Because of family matters, Wu Mianqing was forced to resign from his official position and go home, and he was still unwilling, but seeing that the Wu family is about to become the only scholar family in Mizhi County, as long as Wu Fanhui passes the palace examination and becomes a genuine two-list jinshi, then the Wu family will also jump from the squire family to the scholar family, and Wu Mianqing will become the patriarch of the scholar family, which is much stronger than the position of the county Cheng.
