Chapter 43: Resignation

Kang Jiaoyu took Zhang Luo and Zhang Changwei out of the county school.

Go straight around the City God Temple.

Walk towards the county office in the middle of the main road.

Just walked a few steps out of the county school.

A few people saw that the front of the temple was crowded with people and carriages.

Today is the day when the new prefect officially takes office.

You need to go to the city god temple in the county to worship.

Many county people and wealthy families were watching from outside.

Kang Jiaoyu is an unranked official in the county.

Most of the petty officials who have been fined in recent years have not been able to afford to hire carriages.

Weekdays work just like ordinary people.

Mainly walking.

Zhang Luo saw a patch on Kang Jiao's official uniform.

I know that this "Kang Rockery" is incorruptible on weekdays.

Do it functionally.

Let Zhang Luo feel sincere admiration.

The vertical face clerk I saw in Zhang Luo in the back mountain before.

The clothes on my body are all brand new.

He also carried a silver bracelet on his hand.

And the county's teachings have nothing of value on them.

Although the county school teaching is not in the officialdom.

But it's still a lot bigger than the scribe.

At the very least, he is also the head of the government.

Every month, the imperial court distributed it.

It stands to reason that the scribes in the county government can't eat a mouthful of food from the imperial court.

Kang Jiao Yu walked ahead.

Zhang Luo followed one step behind him.

Zhang Changwei was far behind.

He knew he didn't have much literary talent.

I don't want to interfere with the communication of the readers.

A few people passed by the lively City God Temple.

Zhang Luo asked Kang Jiao in confusion behind him:

"My lord, today is the newly appointed prefect to worship the City God Temple."

"Why don't you go with the civil servants?"

Kang Jiaoyu didn't look back, but said slowly:

"I'm just a teaching, and the prefect is not a sacrificial Confucian Temple."

"You don't need me to accompany you."

Zhang Luoton was speechless.

I only feel that this new career Kang Jiao's temperament is too cold.

Generally, a new chief officer takes office.

County officials would scramble to accompany them.

I hope to leave a good impression in front of the new prefect.

Kang Jiao belonged to the education chief of a county.

Even if there is no grade, he can be regarded as a court official.

It is also necessary to accompany the prefect to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

The distinction between officials and officials in the Ming Dynasty was very strict.

According to the statement in the "Daming Huidian".

Most of the petty officials are not treated as officials.

These small officials who live by tipping on weekdays.

is only counted as non-official personnel in the county office.

The county magistrate is responsible for recruitment.

There are also magistrates to raise them.

Help with some chores in the county office.

Of course, with the advancement of the times.

Although the officials of the government do not receive money.

But it has also gradually developed a default scale.

The officials also took a small amount of money from the yamen every month.

If there is really no penny in the yamen, it will be gone.

The officials also use special means at their disposal.

Go to the county and fish out the money for yourself.

Kang's edict belongs to the official.

Compared with the small officials, it is a heaven and a earth.

This is also one of the benefits of being admitted to the exam.

Today, the officials of the whole county want to enter the City God Temple.

Show your face in front of the new prefect.

But because he is not an official.

It is not possible to enter the festival.

But the official Kang Jiaoyu didn't want to seize the opportunity.

If you don't want to, you won't go.

Although in the late Ming Dynasty.

The status of a lifter is becoming less and less valuable.

But during the Jiajing Dynasty.

Many times called on the world to raise people into the place.

As long as people have ideas.

A non-mainstream scholar can still be easily obtained.

After a few hundred steps away from the City God Temple.

There were finally fewer people on the side.

Kang Jiaoyu asked Zhang Luo:

"The county test ended a few months ago."

"You're here today to apply for next year's county exam."

Zhang Luo nodded a few times.

Generally, the date of the prefectural examination is in the first few months of the year.

It's now approaching the middle of the year.

The day of the exam has long passed.

"Since I am ready to take the prefectural exam."

"Have you read all the four books and the five classics?"

张洛 says:

"I have read all four books, and I still have one or two readings of the Pentateuch."

Zhang Luo's scientific research skills have advanced.

I remember most of the contents of the Four Books and the Five Classics.

"Have you ever read the annotations of Zhu Zi's four books?"

Zhang Luo nodded slowly.

Of course, it is also due to the fact that Zhu Xi's collection of notes on the four books is not very many.

张洛 says:

"I've read all the notes on the four books."

"But they're not proficient."

Kang Jiao slowed down.

said in a slightly serious tone:

"Reading the books of the sages is not enough to read."

"Zhu Zi said that the four books need to be read through."

"The University", "The Analects", "Mencius", "The Mean."

"You need to read them in order to find out what is wonderful about them."

"Didn't your teacher warn you?"

Zhang Luo lowered his head in shame.

Where did he get his teacher?

Traveled to Zhenhaiwei for a few months.

I haven't seen a few readers.

It's all about your own hard work and the help of the system.

And Zhang Luo is a person who has crossed over.

Originally, the interest in the Four Books and the Five Classics was low.

Notes on Zhu Xi.

Zhang Luo just looked at it on a whim sometimes.

Zhang Luo's skills and experience were also for the imperial examination.

I plan to study hard and gain some fame.

It won't be the same as the ancient readers.

Treat the study of the Bible as a lifelong thing.

Kang Jiaoyu saw Zhang Luo bowing his head and was silent.

thought that Zhang Luojue had ruined his teacher's reputation.

I pay a little more attention to Zhang Luo.

Kang went on to say:

"But at your age."

"It's also valuable to read all the notes of Zhu Zi."

"This official will test you on some simple four-book collection notes."

Later, Kang Jiaoyu selected some simple sentences from the commentaries of the four books.

Zhang Luo relied on the knowledge precipitation of "explanatory scientific research" skills.

I answered Kang's questions smoothly.

This time, Kang Jiaoyu is more optimistic about Zhang Luo.

Many people have read the Four Books and their commentaries.

I can't remember a few words at all.

Zhang Luo can learn this level.

It's better than most of the children.

Kang Jiaoyu looked at Zhang Luo with a little relief and said:

"You read the book carefully, how long have you been reading in Weixue?"

Zhang Luo thought for a while and said:

"I studied myself in Weili, and I didn't go to school."

"I haven't read the Four Books and their annotations for long."

Kang Jiaoyu heard Zhang Luo's language.

He stopped all of a sudden and looked at Zhang Luo with a look of surprise.

I saw Zhang Luo's very ordinary clothes.

The conditions at home are not expected to be much better.

Not having the money to hire a teacher is also a common thing for ordinary scholars.

Kang Teachings says:

"You don't have a teacher to show you."

"It's easy to go astray."

"In the 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination questions have become more and more detailed."

"It's easy for you to fall off the list if you read yourself like this."

Then Kang Jiaoyu sighed and said:

"I was thinking of running some courses in the county school."

"Give lectures to people in the county who have not taken the children's test."

"Unfortunately, I have decided not to serve as an oracle."

Zhang Luo asked in shock:

"Why is this Kang Jiao?"

Kang Jiaoyu didn't want to directly say that it was because of the new prefect.

Just roughly said:

"It's not easy to be an official these days."

"There are still good wives and fathers in my hometown to take care of."

"It's better to resign and go back to my hometown to teach."
