The county school of Huating County is located in the southwest corner of the county, and the Confucian Temple is integrated into one, covering an area of more than 10 acres, sitting in the north and facing south, it is very spectacular.

Cheng Zhong followed Hai Rui all the way on foot, although he was a little tired, but he also had some preliminary understanding of the county school.

There is a red wall around the county school, which is undulating in a wavy shape, about three meters high, commonly known as the "dragon lamp wall", which was built in the Song Dynasty and has been nearly two hundred years ago. There is Wenlin Lake in the middle of the lake, which is full of lotus flowers, in order to warn all the students to "get out of the sludge without staining".

Because the magistrate of the county came, Wang Wenchang led the three instructors to wait in front of the gate for a long time. Huangmen is in the east of Wenlin Lake, which is the gate of the county school, and is named after the ancient school called "Huang".

"Xiaguan Wang Wenchang see Lord Hai." Seeing Hai Rui, Wang Wenchang and the three instructors hurriedly saluted.

Hai Rui returned the salute one by one, and Cheng Zhong met the four gentlemen in turn.

Wang Wenchang is about sixty years old, his beard is white, his body is thin, I don't know if it is a precursor to Parkinson's disease, even if he is standing, he is shaking slightly. He had been in the position of a teacher for nearly ten years, and his seniority was too old for even Hai Jui to match.

Because Hai Rui had already inspected the county school at the beginning of his new appointment, this time he was only introducing Cheng Zhong, so after the ceremony, Hai Rui did not stay long, talked a few words, and said a few words of hard encouragement before leaving.

Wang Wenchang took Cheng Zhong to familiarize himself with the environment of the county school. If it is an ordinary student, it naturally does not need Wang Wenchang to lead it personally, and it is already very face-saving to assign a trainer casually, and most of the time, Wang Wenchang will just assign an old student to lead.

Cheng Zhong is a case of this year, and he is a student of Hai Rui, and he was brought by Hai Rui himself, so the situation is naturally different.

"The students of the county school are divided into three classes, and the above one is the student of the county, and he can receive rice every month; followed by Zeng Guangsheng, and attached students again. Grandpa Tai set the ancestral system: there are only 30 students in the county school, and the number of students is increasing year by year, and the number of students has exceeded this number. Wang Wenchang said.

Cheng Zhong nodded repeatedly. Ordinary students are only attached to the school, and then they can slowly be promoted to Zeng Guangsheng and Liao Shan students, but because Cheng Zhong is a case, they will enjoy the treatment of Liao Shan students as soon as they enter the school, and there is a supply of rice.

"All students in the county school are dedicated to one classic, and they are taught in the subjects of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. Examinations are held every month and every year, which are monthly, annual and scientific. The monthly examination is presided over by the old man, and the annual examination and scientific examination are presided over by the provincial students. The results of the annual examination are divided into six grades: the first and second grades can be promoted to supplement the addition, the student or participate in the township examination, that is, the scientific examination; The third class is usual; those of the fourth class shall be held responsible; The fifth-class and hyperplasia descended to one level, and the epiphytes descended to Tsing Yi; The sixth-class dethroned revolution will be disqualified. Wang Wenchang said.

When Cheng Zhong heard this, cold sweat came down. With his current strength, if he participates in the annual examination, he will almost definitely be at the bottom, and when the time comes, not only will he have no food for nothing, but I am afraid that he will become the first person to be demoted and become the laughing stock of the county. Looks like this book has to be read hard.

"Let's go, follow the old man to pay homage to Master Confucius." Wang Wenchang said.

Cheng Zhong is here for the first time, and he can only be at the mercy of Wang Wenchang. I also saw some students on the road, but because Wang Wenchang was on the side, no one came up to talk.

It was relatively rare for the teachings and three instructors to take one student, and the news spread in the county school as if they had grown wings.

Entering the Lingxing Gate to the north, the Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple comes into view. Dacheng Hall is the most magnificent place in the Confucian Temple, rest on the top of the mountain, the ridge of the spotted chela, the winged tube tile, the ceiling lookout board is painted with all kinds of color maps. In the middle of the hall is dedicated to the tablet of Confucius, and the left is dedicated to the four disciples of Confucius, Zeng Shen, Meng Ke, Yan Yuan, and Zisi; Right Feng Zhou Gong and other twelve sages.

The right side of the Dacheng Hall is the famous eunuch temple, which enshrines the famous officials in the history of Huating; On the left side is the Xiangxian Ancestral Hall, which enshrines the famous Huating people in history.

Wang Wenchang took the trouble to introduce the famous eunuch temple and the characters enshrined in the Xiangxian Temple to Cheng Zhong one by one, where can Cheng Zhong remember clearly for a while? Only the only way to respond.

What makes Cheng Zhong curious is that in the easternmost part of the Xiangxian Temple, a stone statue has been stopped after half of the carving, and the faces of the characters are vaguely recognizable, judging from the clothing, it should belong to the officials of this dynasty, but I don't know why the carving is no longer carved halfway, and the introduction on the side is not a word, Cheng Zhong can't guess which master this brother is.

"My lord, the student is stupid, which countryman is this? Why did the engraving stop in the middle of the carving? Cheng Zhong asked.

A trace of disdain and resentment flashed on Wang Wenchang's face, and he said unhappily: "The temple of Huating is too small to accommodate this great god!" Originally, he should have been invited out of the Xiangxian Ancestral Hall and found another him. But Hai-sama stopped it, saying that maybe it could be used in the future. The county lord has an order, and we naturally don't dare to disobey it, but ......" Wang Wenchang shook his head, his expression full of disdain!

It seems that Wang Wenchang has a deep prejudice against this person, and even Hai Rui said two words for him, but he was resented. But who is this? Why did Cheng Zhong look at this face with a somewhat familiar feeling?

"There are five wings on the left and right sides of the Dacheng Palace, and they also enshrine the famous sages and Confucians of our county. They are all models of our generation, Wang is dying of old age, I hope that Cheng Sheng can follow the story of the sages, glorify the lintel of my Huating, and be honored in the Xiangxian Temple, then there are few regrets in this life, even if it is old, it is also honorable! Wang Wenchang said with emotion.

"Sir, that's a mistake!" Cheng Zhong said: "Mr. old should be strong, for the community to educate the virtuous and capable, to do the great cause of the meritorious, a few years later, the future generations may not see the merits of the virtuous and capable officials, but will not forget Mr. Jì decades of hard work, the spring silkworm to the end of the silkworm, the wax torch into ashes and tears began to dry, Mr. is the biggest model in Cheng Zhong's heart!" ”

Although Cheng Zhong's sycophant was straightforward, it was shot extremely well and powerfully, Wang Wenchang was shot red, and his mouth was almost closed. Although he said in his mouth: "I don't dare to be", I felt that Cheng Zhongxin was clear and fast-talking, and he was indeed a material that could be made.

Passing through the Daoyi Gate is the Minglun Hall where the students live in their daily lives; The other is the Chongsheng Shrine, which enshrines the tablets of the ancestors of the five generations of Confucius. In addition, there are Kuiguang Pavilion, Land Temple, Department of Training, Education Department and other places, Cheng Zhong browsed them one by one.

The books in the county school are not as full of sweat as Cheng Zhong thought, but only a few, namely: "Four Books Daquan", "Book of Changes", "Book of Books", "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Rites", "Sex and Reason", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Xuezheng Quanshu" and so on.

After browsing this qiē, Wang Wenchang led Cheng Zhong outside the Dacheng Hall again, but this time Wang Wenchang's expression was very solemn, and Cheng Zhong knew that there must be something important to explain.

"Cheng Sheng, come and see the Yunlong slate in the middle of the steps of the Dacheng Palace" Wang Wenchang's voice was a little excited: "This Yunlong slate is the day the Confucian Temple was completed, it has been covered there, according to the ancestral training of this champion and the first person can be revealed, but today, after more than 200 years, the best ranking of my Huating County in the previous imperial examinations is just a flower, so the Yunlong slate has been sealed to this day!" I'm ashamed. I really don't know if I can wait until the day when the slate is opened in my lifetime. ”

Speaking of which, the conditions for the opening of this cloud dragon slate are indeed too harsh. You must know that the imperial examination is only held once every three years, and there is only one champion each time. Divided into more than 300 counties across the country, if there is an average of one champion in each county, it will take at least 9oo years, and the Ming Dynasty has existed for less than 300 years! It is already very rare for Huating County to be able to come up with a flower exploration.

"Cheng Zhong, you are the youngest case in this county, and the old man has high hopes for you." Wang Wenchang seemed to be quite emotional.

Cheng Zhong was in his heart, and said in his heart: This Wang Wenchang is like an NPC with SS-level tasks in an online game, this old guy doesn't know how many people he has said the same thing to many people.

He knows very well how his case came about, and he may be able to win a lift by luck, and it is a fool's dream to get the first place.

Cheng Zhong was about to say a few words of humility, but a cold snort came from behind him.
