Mr. Teaching's mood is very bad, it turned out that he was going to Zhejiang to serve as the magistrate, and suddenly disappeared without a trace, someone above has already expressed his position, it should be captured, and it is a seven-grade magistrate, not a great official position, this rapid change caught the Instructor off guard, and his mood instantly fell to a trough.

Fortunately, Zheng Xunrui's studies are getting better and better, which allows Mr. Yu to comfort himself, otherwise the official did not do it, and the students did not excel, then it would be really a mess, so during the time when the county school was about to be closed, the teacher paid special attention to Zheng Xunrui's studies, and watched Zheng Xunrui work hard every day, becoming black and thin, and the teacher was very happy, how did he know that Zheng Xunrui was not only worried about his studies, but also about maize and sweet potato.

The teacher originally wanted to talk about Zheng Xunrui to the magistrate, but in the end he dispelled this idea, and after a few months, he already believed in Zheng Xunrui's ability, and believed that Zheng Xunrui had no problem in the guò county test. Besides, if he had greeted the magistrate, even if Zheng Xunrui had passed the county test, he would be suspected of colluding.

The teachings are to lift people, and they are still very strict about learning, and they are not used to those fraudulent behaviors.

The county examination and the government examination, compared with the township examination, the examination and the palace examination, are simpler, the township examination and the examination are the most complicated, the duration of the examination has reached nine days, divided into three time exams, each exam is three days, the examination is also nine days, divided into three time periods, the county examination and the government examination are not so complicated, a total of one day.

From the examiner's point of view, it is also different, needless to say, the examination is held in the capital, the examiner is basically a cabinet minister, the township examination is held in the location of the governor's yamen, the north is directly subordinate to the capital, the south is directly subordinate to Nanjing, the chief examiner is sent by the imperial court, most of them are officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the six subjects are in the matter.

The chief examiner of the prefectural examination is generally the prefect, the Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu are the prefects, and the chief examiners of the county examination are all prefects.

The admission quota is above, the limit is not the same, the more you go to the top, the fewer the number of places admitted, of course, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the admission quota of the people and Jinshi, slightly more, as for the students and children, the quota is more, this for the imperial court, there is not much impact, the number of endowments in each place is strictly limited, that is, the imperial court provides Lu Mi is limited, the government is forty, the state government is thirty, the county is twenty, and the rest of the students can not enjoy Lu rice.

Of course, the status of the students in society is different, most of them are respected by the people, and when they see officials below the prefect, they can not kneel, and there are some preferential treatments in terms of taxes.

The county test in Jiangning County is a major event and has been highly valued by the magistrates.

The county examination is held in the county school, and the number of people who participate in it every year reaches 1,000, and the study style in Jiangnan is very strong, so it is not unusual for so many people to participate in the county examination, and Jiangning County is Gyeonggi County, so there are more people who participate in the county examination.

The head of the county test in Jiangning County, the government test can definitely pass guò, and it is not surprising that the township test can also pass guò.

Throughout the south, Nanzhili and Zhejiang have the most prosperous style of study, and the number of people who come out is also the largest.

With the arrival of the county examination time, the county magistrate put down other things and paid special attention to the county examination, and he once asked Mr. Jiao about the situation of those students who studied in the county, but the teacher did not say anything.

Jiangning County is Gyeonggi County, the grade of the county magistrate is the sixth grade, and it is very likely that if you do a good job, you will directly enter the six departments of the capital, and become the Lang of the six departments, and the most poor can also become a member of the outer lang from the fifth grade, the magistrate of Gyeonggi County, under normal circumstances, is directly received from the emperor's attention, of course, if it is not done well, or there is a problem with the backer behind it, the adjustment is also very fast, and it is possible to go to the six departments of Nanzhili, to be an idle outsider, or even the main thing.

The magistrate of Jiangning County is not an ordinary person, this person's name is Wang Duo, the word Juesi, the Jinshi of the second year of the Apocalypse, used to be the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, and has a good knowledge.

It is impossible for a person without knowledge to become the magistrate of Jiangning County or Shangyuan County, which is a place where literati and scholars gather, and a magistrate who is not knowledgeable cannot gain a foothold at all.

Wang Duo has a good relationship with Mr. Teaching, and only he knows the origin and knowledge of the teaching, don't look at the teachings are just lifting people, and the knowledge is much higher than that of Jinshi, but this is a secret, and he will not leak it.

This knowledgeable teacher still thinks of being an official, which is not strange, and selling his knowledge to the emperor's family is the ultimate wish of all scholars, and it is also the most ambitious goal.

Early in the morning of June 30, Wang Duo got up, washed up a little, and went straight to the direction of the county school.

There were 988 candidates who participated in the county examination, the youngest was 15 years old, and the oldest was 45 years old.

The county school does not need such a strict inspection, the exam questions are made by the county in public, even if you want to cheat, you have to prepare a lot of books, who knows what questions the county will have.

Besides, the time of the county test is in the middle of summer, and it is impossible to carry books with you at this time, and you will wear less of them.

However, the inspection is still necessary, which is a formality, and it also indicates the rigor of the county test.

When Wang Duo came to the county school, he saw the crowd of black presses, he shook his head and walked in the direction of the back, he was the chief examiner, and entered from the backyard of the county school.

The prefectural test starts at the hour of the hour, and the time of the day begins to enter the venue.

One hundred candidates took the exam in the school, and the remaining more than 800 people took the exam outside, and a shed had already been set up in the courtyard for the candidates to answer the questions.

Where to answer the question, there is a difference, generally speaking, those who can enter the school to answer the questions are very promising to pass the guò county test, and it is difficult to take the exam outside, think about the exam of more than 900 people, so many test papers to read, so many articles to read, even if the county is a god, he can't bear it, so he has a focus.

The 100 people who took the exam in the academy were the focus of the county magistrate's attention.

It seems a little unfair to look at it this way, but in fact it is relatively fair, the county magistrate and the two of them have basically mastered the situation of the students in the county, and they basically know which people's knowledge is better.

There is also a difference in the seats in the school.

The first thirty candidates are the top priority, their articles, the magistrate generally has to read carefully, their names, before the exam, the magistrate knows it, and the teachings will naturally be reported.

The remaining seventy people, unless the article is particularly prominent, the first part can attract the attention of the magistrate, and there is hope that the county will pass the test.

Unfairness is also a problem, and everyone knows it.

The children of the gentry and wealthy families are generally arranged to take exams in the academy, and as for the children of officials, they strive to arrange seats for the first thirty people, which is the usual practice, and the candidates have no way to complain that they can only complain that they are from a bad background and reincarnate into the family of the gentry and wealthy families, then they can be taken seriously.

In fact, the children of the gentry and wealthy families are indeed better educated, after all, the family has money, and they can invest a lot in educating their children, and there are also a lot of bundles of teachings and disciplines every year, so that their own children can receive a better education.

Wang Duo entered the school, looking at the neatly placed tables, he sighed slightly, in the past two years, Jiangning County's county test is not very good, and the limelight has almost been stolen by Suzhou and Yangzhou, Shangyuan County and Jiangning County are a little gloomy in comparison, which is not in line with the reputation of the capital of Jinling.

However, it is also an indisputable fact that the children of the family are slowly degenerating, I don't know how many children of the family do not want to study hard, but they all go to the Qinhuai River to enjoy the wind and snow.

Hopefully it's better this time.

This is also the expectation, anyway, those students who study in the county school don't seem to be very good, among them, Liu Rong, Wang Duo is familiar, he is the son of the main Bo, he is not good at reading, his scheming is not shallow, and he also likes to go to the Qinhuai River, but every time he can find a high-sounding reason in front of his father.

Wang Duo is not used to such a young man.

The students began to come in, and Wang Duo saw Liu Rong walking in front at a glance.

Liu Rong's position is in the first row, which is expected, when Wang Duo saw Liu Rong, there was no expression on his face, but he sighed in his heart, if the children of the family are all such virtues, what hope is there for the county test in Jiangning County.

The instructor and the three instructors also followed, when the examination began, they could make an inspection, if they found any outstanding articles, they could report to the county, especially the candidates who took the exam outside, if the articles were particularly prominent, they must report to the county magistrate, so as to avoid the lack of energy of the magistrate and the omission of outstanding talents.

When the exam enters the county school, they are very cautious and careful, no matter what, they want to leave a good impression on the county magistrate, and this impression can also be scored, after all, the time for the exam to be handed in is different, there are very early to submit the papers, and there are also a whole day to hand in the papers, if it attracts the attention of the county magistrates, you can carefully read the articles you wrote.

There were more and more candidates coming in, Wang Duo stood up and walked towards the outside of the school, he also wanted to look at the candidates outside, at least to give people confidence.
