Blame the two household officials and dismiss them, so that all parties can barely be accounted for.

And the reason why Wang Zhixian agreed to Fang Yingwu's recommendation and let two literate Huaxi people replace the vacancy of household officials was because Fang Yingwu made a promise.

Fang Yingwu promised that the matter would end here, and he would not continue to make trouble, in addition to restoring the fields to their original state, he would no longer pursue the Hu family. Wang Zhixian was very appreciative of the other party's attitude of calming things down, so he agreed to his suggestion.

Of course, there is a set of fixed procedures for the supplementary officials of the Yamen, and the two Huaxi people proposed by Fang Yingwu are not on the candidate list. But the magistrate nodded, and the procedure was not a problem.

In Wang Zhixian's eyes, only he himself is a foreigner, as for the other Fang family Hu family and the like, they are all locals, and even Ding Hushu and Shao Xiaoyan are locals. There is no essential difference between these people, it doesn't matter who is unlucky and who is lucky, just don't disturb the county government.

However, there is an additional announcement outside the county government stating that beating and kidnapping officials and officials is an illegal act, and it is strictly forbidden to do so from today onwards, and severe punishment will not be granted!

It is said that this is to appease the hearts of the public, otherwise the gentry and big families are bullying and lawless like Fang Yingwu, who would dare to work errands? Especially the tolerance that is easy to offend people.

Later, as Mr. Hu worried, the story of how smart and witty the Yuan Gongzi was passed on from mouth to mouth in the market, and the Hu family once again acted as a background trick.

But for a while, Mr. Hu didn't have much to do, it was purely humiliating to continue to entangle in this matter, the Hu family could afford to lose, but they couldn't afford to lose this person.

But it was said that it would be the end of the year after the autumn grain, and the year was busy, and the villagers finally ushered in the winter leisure time.

This year, there are no major disasters and no major forced labor in Chun'an County, which can be regarded as a good year. Walking between the villages, you can feel the heartfelt happiness of the villagers.

Fang Yingwu, who was promoted to the landlord's young master this year, also bulged slightly, because he received the first rent in his life.

Although Fang Yingwu was good to the tenants who came over, he only charged a symbolic family price. But after counting one hundred and forty acres of land, plus the original three acres of local fields, more than ten stone rents were also collected, which was enough for him and Sister Lan's expenses. As for the thirty taels of foreign debts, let's talk about it after the exam.

In addition, there is another major event, the Xie Yuan plaque belonging to the Huaxi Fang clan was finally done, and it was hung in the ancestral hall of the Fang clan at a grand ceremony where the whole clan was dispatched.

According to custom, if there is a significant achievement in the imperial examination, such as lifting people or jinshi, a plaque must be hung in the ancestral hall to show the glory of the ancestors. Fang Qingzhi's Xie Yuan's fame is definitely worth writing about, the plaque can't be hung up, and the whole clan has to do it by smashing pots and selling iron.

In fact, the Fang family had no fame at all before, and Fang Qingzhi's talent was the first time in this dynasty that he hung a county student plaque in the ancestral hall to celebrate.

In the eyes of other imperial examination families, this is simply a matter of laughing off the big teeth, is a talent and fame worthy of hanging in the ancestral hall? But this is the only façade of the Huaxi Fang clan.

This time, the Xie Yuan plaque was hung with great confidence, and it should be hung. If it weren't for the lack of money in the clan, even the archway should be repaired, but it has been mentioned on the agenda for next year.

Fang Yingwu and the patriarch Fang Zhili and Li Changfang stood in the ancestral hall at the time, looking at the Xie Yuan plaque, each with a lot of emotion.

Fang Yingwu inadvertently caught a glimpse of the "County Student Member" plaque hanging on the other end of the wall. I couldn't help but ask the patriarch's uncle, "What is this?" ”

"Oh, it's yours." The second uncle replied.

Fang Yingwu laughed and laughed, "I'm just a child, and the fame of talent has not yet arrived"

The second uncle said confidently: "You are the first in the county test, the second in the government test, and my father is the master of Xie Yuan, how can you pass the Taoist test." It's only a matter of time before the show, just a few days in advance. ”

Fang Yingwu persuaded: "There was no way in the past, but now there is obviously a plaque for Xie Yuan, and if there is still a plaque for Xiucai at the same time, this makes outsiders see the joke, and it seems that our family has never seen the world." Besides, it's too wasteful, it's not worth making a plaque for a show. ”

"No waste, no waste!" The second uncle smiled and said: "This is your father's showman plaque, it's useless anyway, it's yours if you use it to repair it, so not only is it not wasted, but it's still thrifty." Besides, there are many brands, looking at the atmosphere! ”

Fang Yingwu took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that on the plaque of "County Student Member", the name and year were cut with a knife, and then his name and the words of the fourteenth year of Chenghua were rewritten. Sure enough, it's a waste utilization, which is very cost-effective

Fang Feng looked at the Xie Yuan plaque and thought thoughtfully: "If the old man of Qingzhi wins the emperor's list, he will also make a Jinshi plaque." However, if Xiao Xianggong can win another Xie Yuan, then this Xie Yuan plaque can come in handy again. ”

Fang Yingwu complained very disrespectfully to his elders: "Don't you wake up and talk nonsense, the green smoke from the Fang family's ancestral grave has not yet risen to the sky." ”

The time then entered the Spring Festival, resigned from Chenghua for 13 years, and ushered in the 14 years of Chenghua.

After New Year's Day, there is a Lantern Festival, and in the lively New Year's Festival, Fang Yingwu, as the most respected figure in the Huaxi area, enjoyed the highest grade of worship. For a while, he even forgot his identity as a traveler.

It wasn't until the end of January that Fang Yingwu gradually regained his attention and refocused on fame. The next month or two will be a defining moment for both him and his father.

Fang Yingwu remembers his father very much. February of the 14th year of Chenghua is the month of the Jingshi Spring Competition, that is, the examination to determine the number of Jinshi.

Fang Yingwu wanted his father to take one step and directly win the fame of Jinshi, so that he could directly change from the second generation of gentry to the second generation of officials; But he is worried that the next ten years will not be a good time to mix with officialdom, and his father is only afraid that he will suffer losses after becoming an official.

At the same time, he also remembered that there will be a new student promotion officer in Zhejiang Province this year. According to the itinerary, after the beginning of spring, the school officer will preside over the entrance examination for the admission of talents in the counties under Yanzhou Mansion according to the Yanzhou Mansion, and the time will be around the end of February.

Although Fang Yingwu knew that he had double insurance, one was the unspoken rule of the county head of the case, and the other was that Governor Zhu promised to take care of him when he was in prison and transferred to the exam, but before the dust settled, no one dared to guarantee that it would be foolproof.

In the midst of all kinds of apprehensions, Fang Tongsheng finally waited for the announcement of the county government. It happened that he came to the county seat to buy books and pen and ink on this day, so he didn't need to be relayed by others, and he saw the announcement for the first time.

There are two main contents of the announcement, one is that the newly appointed deputy envoy of Zhejiang Grandmaster Li Shishi will be in Chun'an County in late February, and the main examination will be conducted on the 25th.

Second, in accordance with the requirements of the examiner, for the sake of fairness and justice, the test paper will be in the form of a vague name.

Both of these contents are very unusual, and most of the people who read the announcement are scholars and scholars, and there is a lot of discussion immediately under the announcement.

According to the imperial court system, as a student official assigned to the local government, the main task was to inspect the studies of a province, and he should inspect every county during his term of office, and he should also inspect twice, and preside over various examinations in each county.

But in fact, there are often one or two hundred counties in a province, and with today's traffic conditions, it is impossible for the school officials to inspect all of them, let alone inspect them twice.

Therefore, there are policies and countermeasures, and there are workarounds. In practice, the school officials do not inspect the counties, but only visit the prefectures and cities. And when the county children and Xiucai come to their own prefectures, they can rush to the prefecture to take the examination -- this is also the origin of the county examination, the government examination, and the Taoist examination.

Therefore, it is surprising that the new deputy envoy of Zhejiang, Master Li, actually presided over a county examination directly according to Linchun'an County, which is not logical. Under normal circumstances, he just needs to go to Yanzhou Mansion, and he doesn't need to go to the county at all.

Another unusual thing is that this Dao test actually has to be disguised. In the general practice, the county examination, the government examination, and the provincial examination are not as formal and rigid as the township examination and the general examination, and the examination is not vague, and the names of the candidates are revealed, so there are often examples on the spot.

But this time, the new student officer didn't know what the considerations were, and he was confused. Is it really for the sake of fairness and justice?

I don't know what others think, but after Fang Yingwu read the announcement, he wanted to scold on the spot - this new great master wouldn't be a vendetta in his previous life? Two surprises all made him unlucky!

First of all, as the head of the county, he has the privilege of escorting him through the customs, but the premise is that the great grandmaster needs to know that the scroll is his.

If the name of the test paper is pasted, then how will the Grand Master know which paper is the right thing and should be taken care of? If you can't get taken care of by the unspoken rules, then what's the biggest significance of the head of the county?

Therefore, Fang Yingwu is resolutely opposed to obfuscation.

Secondly, the new school official pressed Linchun'an County also made Fang Yingwu angry. He had already received a promise from Zhu Governor's Mansion that Zhu Governor could take care of him when he served as the Dao Examination and Probation Officer and the Supervision Officer.

As long as the exam is in the prefecture, the prefect is of course the promotion officer and the supervisor officer, but the grand master went to Chun'an County to preside over the exam! This ruined the second insurance of the other party's goods!

In the Chun'an County Examination, the promotion officer may become Wang Zhi County, but Fang Yingwu did not dare to be extremely relieved about Wang Xianzun. This is not to say that Wang Zhixian is not good, but it is really because the officialdom status is here.

Zhu Zhifu is at the same level as the student official, and he has a strong personality and dares to act; However, Wang Zhixian is a few levels behind, and his nature is relatively soft. Therefore, there are some things that Zhu Zhifu dares to do, but Wang Zhixian may not be able to count on it.

Fang Yingwu's almost 100% probability of admission was suddenly beaten infinitely close to zero by two unusual people. He knows his own affairs, and he has no problem writing two articles, but to say that he can get ahead in the elite group of Chun'an County is self-deception.

Fang Yingwu walked away silently from under the announcement, scolding the street is not the best thing, it is better to think of countermeasures. He knew that there must be some inhumane insider reasons for all the unusual, but where was the reason this time?

After returning to his home in Shanghuaxi Village from the county seat, Fang Yingwu was about to beckon Sister Lan to make tea, but saw his concubine take a post and hand it to him, "Husband, today a person came from Renshou Township to make a post, and I heard him report that his family is from Shang Xianggong's side." ”

Business Minister? Fang Yingwu hurriedly threw out the distracting thoughts and took the post to browse. It turned out that after the merchant went home, he wanted to set up a academy in the clan, and it was going to open in a few days, so he invited guests and friends to meet the ceremony.

This is nothing, Fang Yingwu put down the post, and his mind flashed, and he suddenly discovered the unusual reason for the new student promotion officer-because the Shang Pavilion was always in Chun'an!

This great god who has been talented for half a year and Yu Wei is still there is in Chun'an County, and the school official went to Chun'an County to preside over the exam, of course, in order to show himself at the door of the old Shangge, and by the way, he wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the old Shangge. seems to be fair and fair, probably because of this psychology.

After thinking through the reason, Fang Yingwu couldn't cry or laugh, it was really a disaster for him. When you go to Renshou Township in a few days, you should think of a way to talk to the business minister about it.

However, this student named Li Shishi is really a person with a heart, so he can think of such an opportunity early, and he will issue a card more than half a month in advance. I just don't know if Shang Ge always eats his set.

Waiting, Fang Yingwu suddenly thought of something. Li Shishi's name is very familiar, he should have noticed it when he was doing research in his previous life, which shows that he should also be a celebrity!

Fang Yingwu recalled it carefully, and finally remembered.

If he remembers correctly, forty years later, that is, in the fourteenth year of Zhengde, there was a famous rebellion against King Ning - of course, everyone remembers Wang Yangming more.

And Li Shishi, the veteran of the Three Dynasties who is at home, is the mastermind, national teacher, and prime minister of King Ning, and the number two person in King Ning's rebellion group

Fang Yingwu was speechless for a long time, history is really a wonderful thing, the big thief after forty years is actually going to be his main exam this year, and according to his tenure, he will also take the next Zhejiang Township Examination.

If he was admitted, wouldn't Grand Master Li Shishi become his Dao Test Junior Master? This is really an unusual student officer, but unfortunately only Fang Yingwu himself understands it best.
