Chapter Ninety-Six: Three Candidates
The third year of Hongguang, the first year of Dahua, in April.
The square of a building in Nanjing was crowded with people, all of them looking down at the books in their hands and reciting something.
Those are all students who are preparing to take the exam, and now, it is a new round of official assessment for Dahua.
Due to the recent expansion of Dahua, there is a huge shortage of officials, and the current measure taken by the imperial court is to transfer officials with experience and political achievements to the newly incorporated areas for reform, and these less experienced students will serve as officials in the areas that are already basically established.
Lu Xiangsheng mingled in the crowd, dressed in a simple robe, with a few books under his armpits, and he didn't look much different from other students.
Among the people of Wuyang and Wuyang, there are many new-style students who have been trained in the university, but there are actually many scholars left over from the Ming Court, who come with the idea of serving as an official and a half-post in the new dynasty, so it is not uncommon for him to be his age.
Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I didn't expect it to really let us come out like this, and we can also participate in the official assessment."
The scene in front of me is so familiar. Decades ago, he also embarked on the journey to catch the exam, and now he has done it again.
Only the ideal in my heart has not changed.
Show your ambition and benefit the common people.
Over there, Chen Qiyu chuckled lightly and said:
"This Shousuke-sama's mind is indeed far beyond our imagination."
With his eyesight, it can naturally be seen that the current ruler of this court is the first assistant Yan Ling.
There was also a little hope in his eyes.
In the past few months, why hasn't he been infected by Dahua's various ideas and wants to make a big move?
Cao Wenzhao looked at the scene in front of him and muttered a few words, but turned around and left.
"Where are you going?" Chen Qiyu hurriedly greeted.
"Go to the army." He said a little depressedly:
"Surely I won't pass the test, will I be embarrassed?"
"Besides, a certain family has been cutting people on the battlefield for half a lifetime, and he knows that he is not the material for being an official. It's not good to mess up those government affairs when the time comes. ”
"But the army of the Great Chinese Dynasty also needs a certain amount of cultural literacy." Chen Qiyu said with a smile.
“…… Oh. ”
……
The official examinations of the Dahua Dynasty have been held several times, and the old scholars who came to participate in them have already figured out the way and bought some relevant books to study by themselves before the exams.
Although it is certainly not as good as college students who have been born in a professional class and have experienced systematic learning, there are some people who have successfully been admitted after all.
For these people, the court is not easy to say.
It can't be said directly, all old-style scholars, landlords and gentry from the class don't want it.
What is the difference between this and directly opposing them?
In the end, the officials thought about it and simply sent them to some prefectures and counties that had completed the reform measures, and these people, as local officials, only needed to maintain the status quo.
Fortunately, they are also self-aware, and most of them are law-abiding, so they don't have to worry too much.
Although Lu Xiangsheng and Chen Qiyu also did not go to college, they had to attend classes every night before, which can be regarded as half of their academic background. And after all, they used to be Jinshi, and they can be regarded as the top existence in the whole world, and their learning ability is needless to say.
Walking out of the examination room after the exam, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
"How does it feel?"
"Champion...... Oh, there's no champion. I won't be one of the best, but at least I won't be on the list. Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile.
"This examination institute is much better than when I referred to it back then." Chen Qiyu turned his head, looked at the tall building, and couldn't help but sigh.
"The imperial court's emphasis on education is rare in ancient and modern times, and perhaps this is also an important reason why Dahua can dominate one side."
Lu Xiangsheng sighed.
Just from the various conditions of this examination institute, it can be seen that the Chinese Dynasty attaches great importance to education. Not to mention the unheard of compulsory education, the two of them couldn't help but sigh at the courage of the people in power in Dahua.
They were even more curious about this court.
The two walked side by side towards their temporary residence.
Soon after, it was time to release the list. As they expected, although the results of the two are not as good as many excellent college students, they are also among the best.
Half a month later, they went to the relevant government office and were appointed to official positions.
Compared with their former official positions, this official position is quite low, but they also cherish it very much.
It's a new beginning.
Moreover, the world is far from peaceful now, and it is still quite easy to get promoted by making political achievements.
On the other hand, Cao Wenzhao's process is also quite smooth.
When he came to the recruitment office, the recruiting officer got Cao Wenzhao's identity certificate, and he couldn't help but look at him twice.
Obviously, I have also heard of the name of this famous general. However, he didn't say anything about it, but still recorded his name on official business, and then asked him to participate in a physical fitness test.
Cao Wenzhao's tendons and flesh naturally passed smoothly, and then the officer said:
"Half a month later, I came to the barracks to take the cultural test. After that, you can officially enlist in the army. ”
If you have completed compulsory education and obtained a graduation certificate, you can join the army without the cultural examination. But at present, the people who join the army in many places actually don't have this thing, so they can only study on their own to participate in the assessment.
Literacy is now being eradicated everywhere, and as long as you want to learn, you don't have to worry about not being taught.
So Cao Wenzhao waited for another half a month, and then finally started the cultural exam.
The results of the cultural test were decent, but his physical fitness test results were too good, and he was forced to be at the forefront.
"I want to see what kind of army can be so powerful."
Looking at the barracks in front of him, he muttered, and then stepped inside.
……
The three of them went to take the exam and successfully passed one after another, and the news of becoming Dahua officials was soon placed on Yan Ling's desk.
After sweeping his eyes, Yan Ling's face couldn't help but smile.
It seems that these people are deeply touched by the various changes in Dahua! To be able to get such a result is already a heart.
They are also quite talented people, and they will surely be able to contribute to their careers in the future.
However, this incident did not attract him for long.
He quickly turned his attention to the other side. Over there, Yan Shishu and the rest of the officials were discussing something.
"Dashun's troops are extremely strong, and they go north to occupy important places."
"The Ming Dynasty...... I'm afraid it won't last long. ”
Yan Shishu said, his words like thunder on a flat bottom.
