Chen Minghui invited several times, so that after Wu Fanhui's township test, he must go to him to play for a period of time, Wu Fanhui did not say anything about it, but with the increase in the number of interactions with Chen Minghui, he did find a lot of advantages from him, pay attention to the feelings of others when speaking and doing things, be bold and careful, never refute people's face in the face, and never make it difficult to expound views, etc., which also makes Wu Fanhui have a real understanding of the children of the scholar family, in fact, he has always believed that the superior educational environment, can still make people stand out, not to say that all the children of the scholar family are excellent and capable, but the children of ordinary people, compared with the children of the scholar family, there is still a big gap.

Wu Fanhui's preparations were also very serious, and he was really not completely sure.

The chief examiner of the township examination, called the inner curtain officer, is sent from the capital, and is temporarily designated by the emperor, generally by the middle of the matter or the imperial history, the inner curtain official is divided into the main examination and the deputy chief examiner, with the chief examiner as the main examiner, the topic of the township examination, but also after the chief examiner enters the Gong Yuan, the day before the exam, the Gong Yuan has a special place for transcription, you can print out the exam questions overnight.

The time of the township examination in each province is the same, but the examiner and the examination questions are not the same, and the number of people admitted is not the same, Chongzhen's three-year township examination, the number of people admitted nationwide continues to be the number of the Apocalypse, which is 1,287 people, of which the number of people admitted to the Shaanxi Township Examination is 98 people, and it does not occupy 13 people, there is no way, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas of the South Zhili, including the North Zhili, the number of places allocated is significantly more, for example, the number of people allocated to the South Zhili exceeds 300 people.

Shaanxi participated in the township examination, more than 2,000 people, after all, this is the first township examination after the emperor ascended the throne, from more than 2,000 people can be nominated for less than 100 people, that is, only one out of more than 20 people can be high school.

As for the sub-list of the township examination, there are also 20 places, but no one who comes to participate in the township examination thinks about the sub-list first, and the candidates in the sub-list, although they also have the fame of raising people, can enter the Guozijian to study, and if they are lucky, they will soon be able to go to the government school, state school or county school to teach students, but they cannot participate in the examination, and their status is far inferior to that of the laurel list.

After entering the Guozijian to study, the officials will be sent to the county government to do the county government, or to the government to do the experience, and if you are lucky, you can stay in the capital and be a nine-grade official in the sixth department or other departments.

Wu Fanhui can't know who the chief examiner of Shaanxi is now, so he can only fully prepare for the flowering, which is very difficult, but he has to grit his teeth.

When Wang Baofu led Sun Kailin into the room, Wu Fanhui thought he had seen it wrong.

Sun Kailin stayed in Ma'anshan Village, and was in charge of all matters together with Dai Nengxiang, besides, Mizhi County was more than a thousand miles away from Xi'an Fucheng, did Sun Kailin fly over, why didn't he have any letters in advance.

Sun Kailin's face was a little white, there was dust all over his body, and his face was also very haggard, which was obviously a scene of running for a long time.

Seeing Wu Fanhui, Sun Kailin's face showed a smile, but he didn't speak immediately, but waited until Wang Baofu exited the room and closed the door before starting to speak.

"Young master, young master, my subordinates finally didn't waste time, this is a handwritten letter from the patriarch to the young master, instructing his subordinates to deliver it to the young master by hand before the township test."

It is already the first day of September, and there are still five days before the township test.

After receiving the letter, Wu Fanhui's face turned a little pale, and he didn't open it immediately.

"Sun Kailin, is there something going on at home?"

"No, everything is fine, the subordinate received the letter on August 25, I was afraid that it would be too late, so I set off overnight."

Wu Fanhui's body trembled slightly, in five days, more than a thousand miles, Sun Kailin did suffer, but there was nothing at home, he was still much more relieved.

"It's hard work, you go to rest, and when the township test is over, we'll go back together."

"No, young master, my subordinates will go back tomorrow, there are a lot of things in the village, and Dai Nengxiang can't be busy alone."

"It's okay, rest well today, how many of you are here."

"The subordinate brought five brothers and promised to hand over the letter to the young master."

"Well, rest after eating, recuperate, and be in a hurry tomorrow, and don't be so anxious when you go back."

"Yes, young master, there is one more thing, the patriarch specially said, don't let anyone know about the letter, the subordinates went to Xi'an Mansion City, that is, to report the harvest to the young master, this year is still drought, and the harvest in the field is not very good."

Wu Fanhui's face became serious again, and he nodded silently.

After Sun Kailin left the room, Wu Fanhui did not open the letter immediately, but thought for a while and told Wang Baofu that he needed to rest and no one was allowed to disturb him.

After Wang Baofu left, Wu Fanhui closed the door, sat down at the table, and opened the letter.

This is the patriarch Wu Mianqing's handwritten letter, at the beginning are some greeting words, and then the letter mentions a person, that is, the Imperial Procuratorate supervises the imperial history of Wang Xiang, the patriarch praised Wang Xiang in the letter, saying that it was still in the first year of Chongzhen, Wang Xiang wrote to the emperor, bitterly Chen The court and the local government have many shortcomings, resulting in the poverty of the people, and in the long run, the local will definitely change.

Wang Xiang's twists and turns, Wu Mianqing mentioned in the letter, that is the first year of Chongzhen in May Wang Xiang's twists and turns, from four aspects, sixteen small points of pain to show the existing shortcomings, on the one hand, the local governor yamen and the political envoy Yamen, there are four major problems, namely the invasion of fire consumption, the punishment and redemption of indiscriminate words, the robbery of substitution, and the horizontal devouring of the leader, the second aspect is the four drawbacks of the local people, namely the hidden danger of the grain, the disturbance of the robbers, the bullying of the right, and the redundancy of laziness, and the third aspect is the four drawbacks of the local yamen. The fourth is the four drawbacks in local measures, namely, the accumulation of additional taxes, the guarantee of miscellaneous taxes, the fraud of inspections, and the crimes of investigation.

Later, Wang Xiang suggested that these evils had caused the difficulties of the people, and that we must be determined to get rid of these evils in order to ensure local tranquility, and that there were two ways to adopt them: one was to decisively abolish these evils, and the other was to send capable people to serve as chief officials in the local areas to create a new situation.

When he saw this, Wu Fanhui was very emotional, who said that there were no talents in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Xiang's twists and turns, almost all the local problems, look very accurate, as the imperial history, to be able to put forward these suggestions, it is not simple, but in the final proposal, thinking is a little simple.

The first year of Chongzhen, it is the second year of the emperor's accession to the throne, cut off the eunuch party, the government and the opposition are revitalized, and a new atmosphere has emerged.

For a while, Wu Fanhui was immersed in the letters, and he didn't even think about other issues.

It took a full quarter of an hour for Wu Fanhui to come to his senses, he wiped the sweat drops from his forehead, and continued to read the letter.

At the end of the letter, Wu Fanhui was asked to rest assured that everything was fine at home.

The last few words aroused Wu Fanhui's consternation, and Wu Mianqing demanded that after he read the letter, he would immediately burn it and not disclose its contents to anyone.

After thinking for a while, Wu Fanhui picked up the letter again and read it carefully.

Putting down the letter, Wu Fanhui paced slowly in the room, and soon, a smile appeared on his face.

Wu Fanhui thought of one person, that is, the former magistrate of Mizhi County and the current Zhan Shifu Right Chunfang Right Appreciation Lu Weibiao.

At that time, Wu Mianqing was just a county in Shanxi, and he couldn't get in touch with these twists and turns at all, but in the letter, Wu Mianqing talked in detail about the situation of the twists and turns, and someone must have told them, and the best way was to write a letter and list the content of the twists and turns in the letter.

The chief examiner of the township examination is generally the imperial history or the middle of the matter, most of the people who go to the south are in the middle of the matter, and most of the people who go to the north are the imperial history, and the number of people in the matter is not much, so it is easy to guess, but there are nearly 100 people who supervise the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and no one knows which imperial history will become the chief examiner, so it is impossible to guess.

However, Lu Weibiao may know, because his position is different.

When the prince was not yet growing up, the officials of the Zhan Mansion were actually the emperor's think tank, responsible for telling the emperor the scriptures, giving advice to the emperor, and even directly reading the recitals and commenting on them.

The reason why the officials of the Zhan Mansion are noble is because they are by the emperor's side, they can get the emperor's attention, and as long as they perform outstandingly, they can be easily promoted.

Lu Weibiao was in the Zhan Mansion and had the opportunity to contact the emperor, and Lu Weibiao was appointed by the emperor to enter the Zhan Mansion because of a far-sighted and insightful performance.

The emperor must attach great importance to the matter of determining the chief examiner of the township examination, because this is the first township examination after ascending the throne, and the emperor wants to select talents, so he will consider it in advance, and it is very likely that he will inadvertently reveal some news.

Lu Weibiao was very smart, he wrote a letter to Wu Mianqing, but did not write a letter to Wu Fanhui directly, Wu Fanhui could even think that Lu Weibiao would not mention the township test at all in the letter, but only commented on the government or praised the emperor's wisdom, and unconsciously mentioned Wang Xiang in the example.

Wu Mianqing is not stupid, and must have understood the meaning.

That's why this letter came about.

The foreshadowing set by Wu Fanhui in front of him played a major role at the critical moment.
