Chapter 114 Township Examination (3)

Tens of thousands of people are writing with brushes at the same time, and the rows of exam rooms are like uniform public toilets, and everyone is blushing, wide-eyed, and trying to pour things out, in the delusion of releasing all the survival in their stomachs.

The examinees were pacing with their hands behind their backs, guarded by two or three soldiers, looking around boredly while reminiscing about the eventful years of the past. Occasionally, when I saw the students behind the wooden plank, I thought in my heart, half dissatisfied and half proud: I want to ...... back then.

To say that among the various officials in the imperial court, the average "education" is the highest, except for the pavilion bachelors, the Ministry of Rites, because of this, although the Ministry of Rites is not heavy in the six ministries and three divisions and other institutions, the promotion of its officials is not slow at all. Since normal central officials had to choose through the imperial examination, the shape of the pyramids in the Great Xia Dynasty was quite rugged, but it was also very comfortable to be able to stand on the peak.

Emperor Taizong once stipulated: "The name of the Ministry of Rites should be limited", in other words, every three years, the central officials must be supplemented from these 4oo people, and the next 2oo Tongjinshi origin, if it has nothing to do with it, is almost ironclad to be released to the states, so calculated, with an official's average officialdom life of 3o years, his competitors are only 2ooo people, and the positions of the central government are so many that there are not only vacant seats reserved for the royal family, but also inevitably there are people who fish in troubled waters. But in any case, it is easy for officials who are not on the right path to occupy a fat position and lack fat for two years, but it is difficult to dominate the position and not leave, or even be promoted.

Under the premise that the rule of officials in Bactria had not yet collapsed, the entire country was still firmly in the hands of the civil official group produced by the Tongguò imperial examination.

Even the Astral Warlocks can only abuse one of the civil officials, but they cannot confront the entire civil official group - although they do not have to, and even if they do, it is practically impossible. Violence can only destroy but not build, social order, social production after all need the civilian clique to manage, this point, there are two forces in Chinese history to make a positive and negative proposition, Genghis Khan has been proved, Huang Taiji has proved it.

Every year, the imperial examination can be regarded as a national community organization recruiting new members to put forward their own requirements, and then use the old members to inspect the new members, and arrange various positions for the new members - using state resources - they are not very concerned about what kind of qualities officials should have, but they have a deep study of what kind of new members can ensure the interests of the old members.

The township test is the first step of screening.

Cheng Jinzhou unfolded the scroll from left to right, lightly pressed it with a paperweight and rubbed it with his hand, and then went to see the topic.

The paper is the best jute paper, which is the best kind of paper in the pass, except for the surrounding areas of the capital, there must be only Quanzhou and other places where maritime merchants gather, so that there is this handwriting.

And look at the topic. Cheng Jinzhou was taken aback. It turned out to be "the way of civil and martial arts." Yujung". The subsequent explanation made Cheng Jinzhou suspicious: Fu He has been years old. The northern captives of Koujiang and my Xia country. If you go to the realm of no one, I am a heavenly citizen. Unprecedented. This is based on the establishment of the foundation of the Deji in the middle to educate the Mo Ke in the outside. …… Now I want to seek the art of long-term peace and stability. There is no way to defend one end. If you want to get the way to keep it, you should use it for the longest time.

The imperial examination has always been a benchmark for the imperial court. Represents the first three years of the official view of the land. After three years the most important thing. The township test is no exception, even if it is small.

And see this title. Cheng Jinzhou's first reaction was: Is there going to be a war?

Liu Bin is because he is brilliant in the position of the envoy in Longdong Town. Fang was transferred to the post of transshipment envoy. The ministers who are good at border affairs will be transferred back to the mainland. It shows that the strength of the North is not strong. At this moment, there is another topic of "Yurong". But it seems to show that the imperial court has an active outward expansion**. this era. To the north of Bactria there are girders. In the West there is the Northern Han. Great Xia lives in the southeast. There is the Jingnan Dynasty below. Except for the latter, they are all strong opponents. As for other countries further afield. Although there is no direct conflict of interest. But they have to guard against the war potential of the astral warlocks.

In this case. Bactria has been around for thirty or forty years. No large-scale wars have been fought. Emperor Rijong of the country has the heart to reform. Cheng Jinzhou used the knowledge he had known for months to think. There is simply not the slightest reason for the need for war.

"What a strange question." Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and muttered to himself.

There are also many candidates who have the same doubts as him.

The imperial examination is not simply a performance of literary talent, although people fantasize about being able to do so, but in reality, the candidates have to figure out the mind of the examiner, the examiner has to figure out the mind of the examiner, and the examiner has to figure out the mind of the imperial court...... This is basically an intellectual quiz on the basis of literature, if you can't see the movements of the imperial court clearly, you can't understand the deeper meaning of the question, and you want to pass the exam, it will be even more difficult.

Cheng Jinzhou's daily accumulation is not enough, he can't understand the mystery, and he himself is not able to focus on the topic, just talk about the matter, simply open the township test record in the ring, and think: People say a change, I will see how the talents 5o years ago answered the questions.

……

Chen Jie took his dozen people and walked around the dock area indiscriminately.

Since the reputation of Cheng Bingxun's father and son was notorious, he couldn't stay in Shaonan City, and Cheng Jinzhou sent him to Beijing

The next dozen or so people were all sent to the sea ship, and they couldn't go back in this life

Chen Jie didn't care, anyway, he could stay in Great Xia. Those people, including him, were originally people who had entered the Holy Sect without permission, and as long as they were caught, they would only have the life to serve the priest for the rest of their lives in Great Xia. For the imperial court, those who joined the church without permission were not even qualified to become priests. And if they go to other countries, such as Jingnan, they welcome it, and with a reward of a few hundred taels of silver, there is nothing to resist.

In fact, Chen Jie felt that he was quite happy to be able to come to the prosperous place of the capital. The only regret is that after coming to Xia Jing, except for wandering on the dock every day, there was nothing at all, but it made him accept more than a dozen younger brothers. A group of scoundrels, coupled with the relationship of the nobility behind him, the fox and the fake tiger are quite pleasant.

Chen Jie didn't dare to look for ballast when he first arrived, so he took a dozen people to do some work to help people talk about items, contact the local church from time to time, and at the beginning of each month, he went to Cross Street to get some use, and his life was nourishing.

A gust of sea breeze blew, and there was the sound of a trumpet, Chen Jie turned his head to the tall sailboat and said, "If one day, there can be a boat, but I really don't have to worry about eating and drinking." ”

"It's eating and drinking on the boat." The young man next to him giggled and looked in the direction of the dock and said, "If you want me to say, it's really from the paddy fields, there are dozens of acres of paddy fields, and you don't have to worry about anything." Don't even go to sea to fight hard. ”

"I'm worried a lot." Naturally, the other person retorted: "Don't those shipowners also sleep on the shore every day? Arita's sleeping wife, the sleeping woman of the ship, has nothing but to sleep with people......"

"I think you're ready to sell **......" Life on the dock has always been rough, and they are angry when they scold each other.

Chen Jie doesn't like this atmosphere very much, he has received a basic education in Cheng and has done a housekeeping, and he claims to be half a scholar, but the current environment is a dish on a plate, where can he pick and choose, just find a way to make a living first.

Seeing the boss's impatience, the few people who followed him also stopped in an interesting way, and someone opened a new topic: "Boss, that Mr. Cheng has become a second-level star warlock?" ”

"It's a two_ warlock, who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it. You two Da Amao, I think they are cats and dogs. Chen Jie pointed to the two people who followed him and scolded, but a smile appeared on his face. He thinks that he has a prosperous relationship with Cheng Jinzhou, and the title of two-star warlock is almost a stimulant.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Mao strained his head and said, "I said that two-star warlocks are so familiar, but I heard someone mention it today." ”

"Who mentioned it?" Chen Jie immediately asked, the dozen or so people he collected were like fleas lying on rotten leaves, and he didn't know anything other than the leaves, but the movements on the leaves would not be missed at all. They can survive in the cracks of local gangs, government and wealthy businessmen, and they can eat well-informed money.

"The old man of the Rice Gang, this morning he slept in the hook fence, let people out of the bed, and it was a no-brainer, and then they said something about a two-star warlock, so he followed." Ah Mao said in front of the novelty, seeing Chen Jie's solemn face, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly added: "There are as many as seven or eight companies transporting grain in the maritime merchants, and the boss of the Rice Gang is said to be able to kill ten materials at a time, and when he is fighting, he is always at the forefront. ”

"It's always the women who are bad, and you don't hear what they say."

Ah Mao shook his head and said, "They said loudly, I was also having breakfast in front of me, so I heard a rough idea." But I know the girl who was waiting for the wash, and she must have heard it clearly. ”

If there is any leftover food for the guests on the first day of the Goulan Courtyard, it will be eaten with the people - of course, the people mentioned here, beggars, etc., do not count, most of them are scoundrels, and they also have the meaning of not paying for peace.

Chen Jie took out a small ingot of silver from his sleeve, handed it to Ah Mao and said, "You go and say hello, come back immediately to report to me, if it is related to the Cheng family, you can't delay for a moment." ”

Before Ah Mao was about to receive the silver, he retracted his hand sharply and said coldly: "Brothers, it depends on you to eat bran and drink spicy food, if you dare to miss the opportunity, it will not only be me who will kill you." ”

Mao swallowed, his eyes still fixed on the silver. 5~2 is a huge amount of money, how can they have the opportunity to touch the whole ingot of silver on weekdays.

The others looked at Chen Jie strangely, and he didn't realize anything. There are many two-star warlocks in Great Xia, but usually they have the title of second-level star warlock first, and then they have the title of two-star warlock, and there are very few people with a higher star rating than the level.

And it will be clearly pointed out that he is a two-star warlock, and the only person he can think of is Cheng Jinzhou.

This is a great opportunity.

Chen Jie clenched his fists tightly.
