Chapter 4 Intentional Government Examination

There are all kinds of requests for new books, such as recommendation votes, member clicks, and collections. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info brothers, can you help me get up?

The scorching sun of July is scorching the earth, and on the official road leading to Taicang County outside Horseshoe Town, a little boy about ten years old is running forward in black and black.

The young man's little face with a bit of baby fat was full of melancholy, and his small mouth was also muttering about his second brother one by one. "Stinky second brother, stinky second brother, stinky second brother. On such a hot day, you still let your lovely brother run errands, how can you bear it. ”

Don't look at the fourth little Xia Haomiao's age, but this tiger-headed little guy is smart. Just now, it was clear that Erniang was maintained, but he still chose to listen to his second brother Xia Haoran's words, and ran to the county seat to find his eldest brother in the scorching heat. This is also his shrewdness, the lesser of two evils, and he understood this truth as early as two years ago. Well, it's no good to offend the second brother.

Although he was only ten years old, Xia Haomiao, who had already cultivated to the stage of marrow exchange and blood exchange, was quite fast when he started running. A pair of small short legs are like hot wheels on them, running forward in one step and ten feet (one foot and ten centimeters).

When the fourth child muttered and scolded his stinky second brother, Xia Haohan, the third brother who was sent into the room by Xia Haoran with a wave of his sleeves, was also scolding his stinky second brother.

"Let me out, Xia Haoran I want to tell the eldest brother, woo woo! you bully me!" The third child who was locked up in the room by Xia Haoran with the word 'seal' was banging on the door and window desperately.

If you can't break the talent in your body, you will stay in it forever. The sentence that Xia Haoran secretly sent to his ear before entering the room has been echoing in his mind at this moment.

Relatively speaking, he is not as smart as Xiao Si Xia Haomiao, and in the face of the second demon brother, compromise is the king. But think about it, twelve-year-old Xia Haohan is the age of liveliness and activity, and it is strange that he is locked in a small room of less than ten square meters for a month, and he does not resist desperately.

The reason why he said that he would be locked up for a month was also Xia Haohan's own estimate, judging from the degree of talent gathering in his body, it would take at least a month to complete the 'Talent Breaking Body' and become a real monk.

It's a pity that no matter how he shouts and beats the doors and windows, it's just in vain, Xia Haoran's 'seal' trick not only seals the doors and windows in and out, but even the sound in the house is also sealed.

The eldest lady who didn't pass by in front of Xia Haohan's room didn't hear the cries for help at all, looking at the figure of the eldest lady gradually moving away, Xia Haohan was really desperate this time. A month's time, have I wasted my good years like this?

"Haoran, you can figure it out, come to the aunt to take a look, it's growing again. Hearing the movement, the lady who walked into the front hall saw Xia Haoran who was talking next to Chen Cuiping, and without saying a word, she moved her hand to Xia Haoran, pinched and hugged it, and then looked at this second boy who was a head taller than herself.

To be honest, I haven't seen this second boy who used to run around outside the house for three months, and I always feel that there is a little bit of home at home. The juniors and juniors who have lost the second brother have also been quiet a lot in the past few months, which makes her very unaccustomed to being used to the noise at home every day.

"Sister, you're used to this bastard. If you want me to say that he will lock himself up for a few more months, it will be quiet in this house. Chen Cuiping, who was helping Xiao Si sew clothes, said a little harshly in her words. Although she and her eldest sister Chen Yaozhu are like sisters, their different backgrounds also make them have the same attitude towards educating their children. In Chen Cuiping's concept, these bastards should be stricter, and the future of the Xia family points to their success.

You're really my mother. Of course, in this case, Xia Haoran only dared to think about it in his mind, and Xia Haoran, who pretended not to hear his mother's words, quickly diverted the topic and said, "After the autumn, I am going to go to the mansion to take the Xiucai test, and I don't know how the eldest brother is doing?"

Hearing Xia Haoran's words, the eldest lady Chen Yaozhu's face was first happy, and then slowly sank, and said, "Don't mention that conscienceless thing, it's been two months since I was home." I look at that, with your brother-in-law's care, he is so free in the county town that he doesn't want to go home. After venting her displeasure, Chen Yaozhu showed a smile on her face and said, "Little second son, you tell the eldest lady honestly, are you sure about this government test? Back then, your father only obtained the quota of Wu Xiucai when he was almost thirty years old. ”

It's no wonder that the eldest lady has no confidence in Xia Haoran, among the 60 million people in the seven states and thirty prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Great Wei Dynasty, there is a fixed number of Wen and Wu Xiucai who are admitted to the department every year, and there are a total of 2,000 places a year. The quota of Wen and Wu Xiucai assigned to each prefecture city is only 300 people each.

This makes the competition in the annual government examination very fierce, especially the exam of Wen Xiucai. Martial artists will also gradually give up the assessment because of their age, and those who have passed the age of forty and their physical fitness will inevitably begin to decline. But the scribes were generally able to maintain their mental power until they were about sixty years old. A few people who can show off their talents at the age of 70 have also emerged in the more than 800-year history of the Great Wei Dynasty. (The monk who communicated the bridge between heaven and earth or opened the two veins of Ren Du said otherwise)

Of course, there are reasons for the state's practice of not limiting the age but only the number of people, firstly, the country cannot afford to raise more Xiucai (the treatment of Xiucai is 100 times that of children); second, in order to maintain the stability of the Great Wei Dynasty, in this era of respect for martial arts, the state must give these hopes. If you really limit your age, those guys who hold their own force (talent) and can't see the upward passage may be able to pull the pole and rebel that day.

The national policy formulated by Da Wei Wen is indeed very ruthless, and even why only 2,000 places are taken every year is calculated. Civilians who want to support a monk must gather the strength of the whole clan, and the monk who gathers the strength of the whole clan to support must first pass the character check within the family, after all, no one wants to raise a white-eyed wolf.

And as a monk who hopes for the whole clan, if he has the opportunity to become a talent every year and bring blessings to himself and his family, he will be even less likely to commit crimes. Even if you can't get into the test and see the powerful force of other talents, if you want to commit a crime, you have to think more and think about it.

As long as the Great Wei Dynasty with such a national policy prevents itself from being destroyed by other countries, it is difficult for peasant uprisings to develop within the Great Wei Dynasty, and the rotation selection system also ensures that the country has fresh blood every year to become the country's new upstarts to replace those old families. Except for a very small number of families that have been born from generation to generation and have maintained the strong position of the family, most of the families of the generals and virtuous ministers who followed the founding of Wenzong have died out or become commoner lowfalls again with time. In the general direction, this is also a redistribution of wealth within the country, which also weakens the contradictions of class antagonism and greatly slows down the intensity of land annexation by the nobles of the family to the peasant households.

Of course, from the national level, such a policy is also correct, but for ordinary families of the Great Wei Dynasty, such a policy has many drawbacks. Unless you're really talented, it's hard for teenagers to get ahead.

Xia Haoran didn't just talk about this topic casually, on weekdays, due to the lack of financial resources at home, Xia Haoran could only do his best to absorb qi for three or five days a month, and the state provided Tong Sheng with three low-grade jade crystals, Xia Haoran had to give a piece to his third brother Xia Haohan every month to help him complete the qi absorption and breaking the body.

Xia Haoran, who is now successful in Gutian Yujing's cultivation, is full of confidence in this year's autumn exam, although he can't get out of the three hundred places, but he is still very sure of being a crane car.
