Early in the morning of June 20, the sky was bright, and Yuan got up.

Brush the pot and wash the dishes, and cook on the fire.

Zhao Shanchuan's family had breakfast, and after tidying up, the whole family got on a set of ox carts and went to the door of Zhao Fuxiang's house to wait.

Zhao Fuxiang was sitting in the house eating with Li and others.

Seeing Zhao Shanchuan's family coming over, he hurriedly asked, "Second child, have you had breakfast?" I boiled bone broth at home, so I drank a bowl and rested. ”

Seeing this, Zhao Shanchuan hurriedly waved his hand, "No, father, mother, we came out to eat, so we won't enter, just wait for you at the door." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Shanchuan sat on the ox cart and did not move.

Seeing this, Zhao Fuxiang hurriedly glanced at each other with Li, and unconsciously, both of them hurried to eat.

didn't let Zhao Shanchuan wait too long, and soon, Zhao Fuxiang set up the family's mule cart and came out with Li and Zhao Shanxing.

"Dad, what about the little five? Didn't he say that he was going to the city to have a look, why didn't he see anyone? ”

Seeing that he didn't see Zhao Shanyu and Zhou Jin, Zhao Shanchuan scratched his head and asked Zhao Fuxiang who drove out of the car.

Zhao Fuxiang didn't speak, but the Li family on the side made up for it, "Xiao Wu and his family just entered the city a few days ago, and when they came back, they said that they had found a good deal, no, I went to Yu Lizheng's house early today, and I haven't come back yet, I'm afraid I won't enter the city." ”

"Forget it, don't worry about him," Zhao Fuxiang drove the mule cart in parallel with Zhao Shanchuan, "Right now, it's not an ox cart without a hurry, the two of them want to go, so they will go by themselves." ”

Zhao Shanchuan pondered that this is also right, counting the ones brought out from Shangwa Village and bought on the road, there are a total of five livestock in the family, except for the fourth child, each of them has a one, and it is really convenient to use a car or something on weekdays.

What's more, Meadow Village is only twenty miles away from Qingyu County, and it only takes half a day for adults to go back and forth, and it only takes about half an hour to catch a car.

"Dad, Xiao Wu is fine over there, so let's go quickly,"

Zhao Shanchuan said, his face still with a touch of excitement and excitement to enter the city, "I heard that in the past few days, Qingping County has opened an event called the Expo, good guys, it is more lively than the bazaar in Qingping County, not to mention the sale of things everywhere, some of them are still brought from the county capital city and further south, we have time now, but we have to take a good look." ”

"Yes, mother, I heard from other people in the village that the place called the fair also sells that kind of particularly easy fabric, which is not only light and thin, but also very comfortable to wear," Yuan said while not forgetting to stretch out his hand and gesture, "The first two days, the sister-in-law of the house next door to us specially showed it to me." ”

Not only that, during this time, many people from the village went to the city, and at the same time, they also bought a lot of good things from the city and came back.

Sometimes the Yuan family used to be busy with work, and they would be caught by these women who bought new things, and they would show off, good guy, and choke her hungry.

So since she learned that she was going to enter the city today, Yuan brought a lot of money, the purpose was to buy more.

"You said that the fabric, I also saw it, it's really good, the people in the family really need to make new clothes," Li nodded, and said in his heart that the temperature on the south side is very high, so the cotton jacket and down brought from home are indeed not suitable for the south side as well as the north side.

What's more, they fled all the way, and the clothes they wore were almost torn.

Now that you are in the city, you should really buy and clean up.

Li immediately decided that in addition to renting the shop and going to the blacksmith shop to customize tools, she would also take a good look at the fair and strive to buy more back.

By the way, by the way, I took a look at the two girls, and there were also objects to be sent.

…………

For the rest of the way, everyone kept talking.

The journey of only half an hour passed quickly, especially when they took the ox cart, which felt more relaxed.

As early as when they went to Meadow Village, they had been to Qingyu County.

It's just that at that time, they just looked outside and didn't really go inside.

Therefore, although everyone felt the size and grandeur of Qingyu County, they did not have any substantive feelings.

Unlike now, they are lining up to enter the city, walking along the bluestone paved paths, looking at the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, the clean and tidy streets, and the neatly dressed vendors around them, all of it...... all make them addicted.

It turns out that this is Qingyu County!

"Although it is not as prosperous as Yeting County, it is not bad, especially, compared to Changle County, it is a world of difference......

Zhao Fuxiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and his words were also approved by everyone.

Without exception, everyone's expressions were full of amazement.

But they quickly reacted, it was not good to stand in the middle of the road, and after looking around, Zhao Fuxiang hurriedly led people to a corner.

Zhao Shanxing reacted, didn't talk nonsense, and directly explained the situation and left first.

This time, he followed everyone into the city, and the biggest purpose was to take the school exam.

During this period of time, Zhao Shanxing was not idle.

Not only has he found a school, but he also spent money to buy a house in Qingping County.

Not surprisingly, he came here today, and he will not return to Meadow Village in a short time, and he will stay in the city to study in order to take the entrance exam held by the government academy in September this year.

It wasn't until he came here that Zhao Shanxing suddenly understood the huge difference between the school here and the school in the north.

Just talking about the time when the two sides joined the company, it is completely different.

The north side can be said to be completely studied in the imperial examination of the former dynasty, and the palace examination is held once every three years.

In the south, it takes at least four years to enter the school established by the government, and if you want to go further, it will take six years.

This also has a lot to do with the imperial examination reform in the south.

This imperial examination reform lasted secretly for more than a decade, and it was also from five years ago that the rulers of the south put it on the bright side.

At present, if you can successfully enter the government academy to study, then this kind of student will have two learning methods: four-year and six-year.

As long as the students who pass the four-year system and are qualified, they can hold some official positions and enter the office, but this kind of students are mostly grassroots officials, and it is difficult to have better development.

If you continue to study, students who pass the six-year system and are qualified will enter the imperial court, and this kind of person will go further, and even pay homage to the prime minister.

If you want to enter the government academy to study, the first thing is to pass an exam in September every year, as long as you have passed the exam, you can enter the hall to study.

This is only the first step, and there are more rigorous tests waiting for them after entering.

Only by passing all the tests in the school, and obtaining the qualification to take the final exam, and then passing the final exam in July every year, can you be considered to have passed the year's study.

Moreover, there is such an exam every year for school study.

If you don't pass the exam in July, you need to repeat the grade for one year, continue to study the content of this year, and take the exam next year.

Among them, there are still three years of non-compliance, which will be directly dismissed.

This can also show that the government's schools are really strict.

Zhao Shanxing studied very well, but because he did not have any talent status, he could only participate in the entrance exam held by the government school in September this year.

Successfully passed, went to primary school for another year, and then took the final exam in July next year, of course, because of the age limit, he and the other candidates in the school took the four-year final exam.

If he passes, he can continue to study, then take the final exam for the next six years, and then smoothly enter the officialdom in the south.

Of course, if he doesn't succeed, he can only work hard for a year and continue to take the exam next year.

For the title of Xiucai, although Zhao Shanxing occasionally regretted it and had to delay it for a year, he also knew that if he came to this year, he would be able to learn more knowledge, which would be more beneficial to entering the officialdom in the future.

In particular, the knowledge of the southern assessment focuses on arithmetic and calculus, but the strategy and calculation will not be ignored, and he will not necessarily participate directly.

At the moment, the timing is just right, and this development is also in line with his psychological expectations, and he has nothing to lose.

As for Zhao Shanxing's plans, Zhao Fuxiang and others all knew.

Therefore, after listening to what Zhao Shanxing said, although Li was reluctant, he only instructed Zhao Shanxing to take good care of himself, and said that the money was not enough, so remember to go home and get it.

Zhao Shanxing nodded yes, and at the same time smiled to appease Li and Zhao Fuxiang.

Seeing this, Zhao Shanchuan on the side also cared about a few words, and the two brothers took the opportunity to talk.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Li interrupted everyone's conversation, stubbornly sent the person to the mouth of the alley, and watched him leave with a reluctant face.
