After Wu Yunlin went out of the tribute courtyard to take a bath, he was suddenly refreshed, at this time the sky was already dark, and someone in the hall shouted: "It has been confirmed, the list will be released in three days, this is the news released by the people from the Governor's Office, there will be no mistake, haha...... Three days later, the mules and horses will be pulled out and slipped. ”

Everyone was nervous and excited. Looking at his excited appearance, I thought that someone had come to the inn to report the good news, and he was shocked, which made everyone even more nervous.

Wu Yunlin took a sip of tea and suppressed his nervousness.

The township examination is different from the hospital examination, and if you become a person in the township examination, you will have the capital to be an official, and you will be able to become a real privileged class, in ancient times, the whole world was controlled by the privileged class, and the common people were really just fish and meat.

The days of waiting for the release of the list are always boring, but this inn is still lively, and the students come in and out every day.

On the third day, Wu Yunlin and Mei Jiding had just arrived at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, when a cannon rang out, followed by the noise of gongs and drums, the gate of the Tribute Courtyard slowly opened, and the servants wearing red scarves came out one by one.

The crowd of students outside was extremely quiet, and at this time, no one spoke.

The first list was posted.

This list is known as the tail list, and there are probably more than a dozen names, all of which are named at the end.

Everyone's eyes are wide, into the list, life has changed, even if it is not a jinshi, but this step has become a lifter, that is also half an official, even if you do not participate in the selection of officials, you can also be a local sage for a lifetime, there is a large tax-free quota, many people in order to avoid taxes, are willing to dedicate their land to the door of the lifter, even if it is a penniless, feet without a cone, as long as you can become a lifter, you can become a landlord in a blink of an eye, if you manage it well, Enough to accumulate great wealth for children and grandchildren.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd excitedly said: "Hit, hit......"

Everyone's throats began to roll, and almost everyone sweated under the infection of this atmosphere.

Although it is only the tail list, it is also the hope of countless people, Wu Yunlin did not see his name on the list, he is still a little disappointed, there is no end list, who can guarantee that he will be among the best?

Wu Yunlin was a little disappointed, he was very worried about whether he and Mei Jiding were really famous in Sun Shan.

At this time, another list was posted, and this was the middle list.

There were more than a dozen people, no one paid attention to Ye Hong, and everyone was staring nervously at the list.

The names of Wu Yunlin and Mei Jiding suddenly appeared on the paper.

Everyone browsed one by one, and some people in the crowd had already begun to be disappointed, and many people beat their chests and stumbled.

Bell, bell, bell...

But an errand struck a gong and said loudly: "The first list is going to be posted." ”

In fact, at this time, many people have begun to leave, some people are already on the list and leave satisfied, and some people don't see themselves at the end of the list and leave in despair.

Once became a pivotal man. In other words, people in the world often like to correspond to the ancient Xiucai Jinshi and the current academic qualifications: Xiucai corresponds to a primary school diploma, Juren corresponds to a university diploma, and Jinshi corresponds to a famous university diploma. There are many people who hold this view, including some people in recent history, who also regard Xiucai as a "primary school diploma". Based on this correspondence, we will sigh from the bottom of our hearts: Show talent is easy to test; It's a bit difficult to lift people, but it's not too difficult; Jinshi may indeed be quite difficult, but as long as you work tiptoe and use your IQ, you can get through it by staying up all night. Based on this judgment, we are also easy to draw some conclusions: the knowledge level of the ancients is not good, and we modern people are bulls. This conclusion is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the real reality is that the difficulty of the examination is probably equivalent to being admitted to one of the better universities of our time - corresponding to 211/985 colleges. For example, the difficulty of the examination is probably equivalent to being admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. And if you pass the exam, you are already a national civil servant, and you can register with the Ministry of Officials, and in principle, you can be a county official, that is, the county master. Of course, it is an alternate, and as for how long this "Hou" lasts, it depends on your own creation and luck. Raising someone to be a county magistrate, of course, is only theoretically established.

Although Mei Jiding is not ranked high, he is also full of spirit now, he originally felt that he was hopeless, so at this moment he was very arrogant: "Haha, this time in high school, I want to set up wine, so I will repair the book and go back to my father, and set up a three-day flowing water banquet." Ha ha...... Now that I'm in high school, I'm also a lifter, and the ancestral grave is smoking. ”

When he returned to the inn, Wu Yunlin repaired the book and asked the guards who came with him to return to their hometowns to report the good news, saying that he had been promoted and would return to his hometown in a few days.

After reading the letter, the old man Wu was in tears, and he was actually lifted, the old Wu family did not even have a Xiucai except Wu Yunlin before, and now there is a high school lifter, this is not a glorious lintel, what is it?

Old man Wu was overjoyed, put on a flowing water banquet, feasted guests everywhere, and his grandson was out, of course, it had to be lively, and this was still a big deal!

Many distant relatives came from dozens of miles away, and the whole Shixian Wei was decorated with lights, and they were very happy.

For a while, the clouds covered the sun, and it was very lively, and the people with good deeds did not know what was happening, and they followed from afar, so that the roads were congested.

When he was angry, Menzi crawled in and down: "Master, third master...... Someone...... came to the door, the main bookkeeper, the warden, and the teachings came to the door, as well as the Huang family and the Zhang family...... The nearby Tu Chief also came to the door, saying that he was here to congratulate him, and he came to congratulate him......"

I opened the middle door to greet ...... Old Man Wu commanded with a smile

The person who came made a gesture and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations to Mr. Wu Qian, Mr. Wu Qian is very lucky." Suddenly, Mrs. Ye suddenly burst into tears, he finally accepted this happy fact, and all of a sudden, his waist stood up.

"The third child, what are you still doing in a daze, let you help in front of this family, is it to teach you to make wooden stakes, don't you hear, your nephew is a glorious lintel, and he is out of luck, hurry up, call everyone out, hospitality, hospitality!"

His sonic boom rubble, and his voice could be heard hundreds of meters away.

From a small gentry family, the influence was more limited to Shi Xianwei, but now, it can completely cover the entire territory of Songtao Hall, and may even reach the neighboring counties.

Don't underestimate this influence, the so-called gentry, that is, local celebrities, is the object of the government's reliance, as long as there is influence, then more human relations will come naturally, everyone is willing to give the Wu family face, the people of the Wu family go with the wind wherever they go, then the local bridge and pave the road, it is indispensable for the Wu family to come forward to preside, or some local official or semi-official activities, you also need to ask the Wu family's opinion.

The great thing about the gentry is that it is not a government and cannot decide what to do, but if you want to do anything without its approval or support, then it has countless means of bad things.

In this way, the influence of the Wu family on the local government has also deepened, and the government is more willing to give face to a newly rising celebrity like the Wu family, and it will be easier for the Wu family to do something, or help people do something, and many people in the county and township are more willing to take refuge in the Wu family, which makes more people rely on the Wu family's snort, and the influence is growing like a snowball.
