The capital in early September was already very cool. The restaurants and tea shops in the streets and alleys were very lively.

The people in the capital always like to talk about current affairs. Today, the people can’t help but talk about state affairs. As long as you are not maliciously slandering or spreading rumors, then you, an ordinary citizen, can also give inspiring guidance. There are many people in the Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Wucheng Military and Masji in the capital, but few of them will interfere with them.

The focus of the people in the capital is that they have just changed from sending their daughters to Beijing by the Mongolian banner masters to the first imperial examination in the Han Dynasty. Even the reform of the land and return to the southwest is not as good as this year's imperial examination.

The just-concluded national provincial examination can be said to be a failure to settle.

This year's children's examination was just the norm, but the number of admissions doubled compared to previous years. The total number of new scholars admitted to the whole world was really amazed and delighted by the people of the world.

During this year's provincial examination, the scholars' enthusiasm was also higher.

The admission of scholars has doubled, and the admission of subject examinations has also doubled. They all believe that the number of admissions in the provincial examinations this year will exceed 2,000.

The facts were indeed as they expected. In previous years, more than a thousand were admitted to the first examination in the countryside examination, but this year, more than three thousand were admitted.

In the seven major examination areas, each examination area admitted more than 400 people, more than 30 provinces in the world, and 60,000 scholars who passed the examination participated in the competition for these 3,000 juren quotas.

However, when these 60,000 scholars sat in newly built tribute courts and saw the test papers in front of them, they were stunned.

The children's exams still test the eight-legged essays that they are familiar with, and the same is true for the subject exams, but the papers of such an important exam in the provincial exams make them a little confused.

But whether I read or not, I took three exams in the entire provincial examination, and each exam lasted for three days, just as before. In each exam, the scholars entered the venue one day early and left after the exam.

After three consecutive exams, I stayed in the Gongyuan room for nine days. Many candidates didn’t remember how they answered those test questions.

Many scholars have not participated in the autumn test for the first time. They have the first session on the ninth day of the eighth month of the year. They try to use the Analects of Confucius, the Doctrine of the Mean or the College, the Mencius, and the Five-character and Eight-Rhyme Poetry. The meaning of the classics is 4. Each of the three and four questions in the first session must be written with more than 20 characters, and the four questions in the fourth session must be written with more than 0 characters. The second session is 12 days, and the five classics are 1, and the five classics are 1, and the ones are 1, and the ones are 1, and the ones are 1, and the argumentative essays are 1, and there will be more than 0 characters. The argumentative essay requires more than 0 characters, and there will be some modifications in the future. The fifteenth day is the third session, and the five current affairs strategies are 1, that is, combining the theory of classics and theories to discuss or opinions on current affairs and government affairs at that time.

In the previous session, the examination content is roughly the same, mainly based on Confucian classics, and the examinations are mainly based on the Four and Five Classics.

But now the first imperial examination in the new dynasty made them stunned.

After the exam, many candidates raised opinions to the government, believing that there were problems with the test questions.

But no matter how the candidates reacted, the court quickly finished reading the papers, and the seven major examination areas. More than 400 new imperial examination candidates were admitted, with a total of 3,000 people.

The scholars who failed to be elected became more angry, but the new imperial examination candidates who were listed were excited. In fact, for them, what is not important is that the imperial examination was selected by the imperial examination, and of course the most important thing was that they could pass the imperial examination.

This year, the imperial court changed the test questions, and Confucian classics accounted for only 30% of the categories. Many test questions required candidates to have richer experience, rather than just turning a blind eye to the outside world as before, and focusing on sages. It was difficult for a fool like the past to pass this exam.

Huang Zongxi has participated in several provincial examinations. In the past, he failed many exams, but this time he won high school in one go. He also became the number one in the East China Examination Area, Jie Yuan.

What surprised countless people even more was that the five brothers Huang Zongxi and the five brothers participated in the provincial examination together, and all five brothers were on the list. This result made the Huang brothers famous all over the world.

The five brothers Huang Zongxi and the five were awarded the exam together, which immediately became the focus of hot discussion in August.

What is as exciting as the five brothers Huang Zongxi and the five brothers were that Fushe also achieved amazing results in this imperial examination. After Fushe was rectified, there are now more than 10,000 scholars registered. Half of them have the fame of scholars, and many have the fame of scholars and Jinshi.

This time, Fushe has more than 3,000 scholars participated in the provincial examinations in several examination areas in the south. Among every twenty imperial examination students who passed the examinations, Fushe has accounted for one.

Their success rate was even more amazing, with more than 600 re-elected imperial examination students passing the exam, including President Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu.

Compared with the admission rate of 20-year college entrance examinations in the current provincial examination, the number of 1-year junior high school students in Fushe is undoubtedly much higher, and it is astonishingly high. The 3,000 new senior candidates account for one-fifth of the 3,000 new senior candidates.

Many people think there is something wrong with this.

"It must have been the Fushe bribed the examiner. When Zhang Pu and others led the resumption of the society, they did this, bribed the Jiangnan examiner. Then, in the provincial examination, there were many students who were resumption of the society and controlled the scientific examination. Unexpectedly, Zhang Pu died. After the resumption of the society, the result was even worse. Three thousand new imperial examination candidates, and six hundred were members of the society."

A scholar who failed the exam said angrily that Jiangnan does not have only Fushe, but also many poetry clubs. Basically, scholars nowadays can form associations, join the clubs, or even join several clubs alone, but there are almost no one who does not join the club.

But not many people can reach the scale of Fushe.

Today's Fushe is even larger than when Zhang Pu was back then, especially Fushe registered with the court. After Fushe had a council, the court sent a supervisory board, countless people rushed to apply to join this big society where the government could receive funding support from the court, and the presidents and the directors of the president's board of directors could also get the salary of the court.

More than 10,000 members are out of reach in any other society.

But it is also why it has attracted the jealousy of many scholars.

Now that Fushe has passed so many juren at once, the scholars in the world can't sit still.

Another failed scholar shook his folding fan and said coldly, "I think Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu don't have the courage, nor is there any Jiangnan examiner who has such great courage. Now it is the first year of Longhan and the first class in the new dynasty, who dares to do whatever he wants?"

"Can't the people who are in Fushe have been so powerful, and 600 people have passed the imperial examination at once. This is because most of Fushes are in the south, and 3,000 candidates in Fushe have been concentrated in half of the examination areas. Otherwise, there will be more people who have won the imperial examination here. I don't believe it. Are they so much better than us who are studying the same sages?"

The student who was shaking the folding fan said, "There must be a reason for this, but I think it should be the main idea of ​​the court."

"What does the imperial court mean?"

"I mean. The court intends to admit more students to re-elect the community."

Everyone was silent for a moment. Although the test papers for the provincial examination had to be copied first by a specialist, and then the testers would be given a name. Finally, the examinees would be given a review, which would prevent cheating. But if it was really the court who wanted to record the re-sponsorship, it would be easy for the court to do it.

Some examiners are cheating when they make trouble, but if the court instructs them, it will naturally not be a problem. But the key is, why do you need this?

"Because Fushe is no longer the Fushe that was back then, the Fushe has been recruited by the court. Look at the current Fushe, Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu and other presidents all receive the salary of the court. As the president, Huang Zongxi has 1,000 silver dollars a year, which is quite a lot. Those vice presidents and branch directors and branch directors also receive the salary of the court."

From this perspective, the people who are in Fushe are actually from the court. Now the court wants to choose scholars as officials, and directly use Fushe candidates who are already in the court. This is naturally natural.

This statement made everyone here believe it.

"This is unfair!" a candidate who failed the exam shouted, looking angry.

"I don't believe it is true."

"Hmph, what's there to believe? You see, the test papers that have been released this time have broken the conventions of the past few hundred years. Not only do they not take the eight-legged essays, but they only test a small amount of Confucian classics. What are the other test questions? Think about it, are those test questions easier for those candidates who are active everywhere in the Fushe Club?"

If you think about it carefully, it seems that this is true. Those test questions are very unfamiliar to scholars who study hard. But for those very active members in the Fushe Society, they are more able to adapt.

"It is unfair to the court do this."

"Forget it, what fair or unfair? Actually, you can change your mind. In the Ming Dynasty, the first examination in the countryside was admitted to 1,400,500 people, but never two thousand people. Although the imperial court admitted 600 candidates for the reunion society this time, a total of 3,000 scholars were admitted. Even if the 600 people who were reunion society were eliminated, there were still 2,400 people. Compared with the 1,400 people in the past, it was equivalent to the 600 people who were reunion society. In fact, the imperial court still registered one thousand more people than the previous years. If you want to call unfair, do you think the people in the court will pay attention to us?"

"Then let it go?"

The candidate continued to shake the folding fan, "We can't change the new dynasty, we can only adapt to the new dynasty. Now that the dynasty has changed, the rules of the exam have also been changed, we can only find ways to adapt to the new rules as soon as possible. Anyway, I believe that even if the people who are resuming the society get the month first, it's nothing. Anyway, three years later, there will be another imperial examination. In these three years, we can fully adapt to the new examination rules. After three years, we will all stand in the same position, and we will rely on our own abilities."

This is a free and easy person who failed the exam, but other people may not be so free and easy. Everyone always feels unwilling to accept it and thinks that the people who are in the resummons are cheaters.

At this moment, a student suddenly ran in and shouted excitedly, "Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

"Your Majesty just issued an order saying that another exam of the sacrificial talent exam will be held. More than 50,000 students who failed the imperial examination can take another exam. This time, 5,000 places will be admitted."

"Five thousand places?" The scholars of the first-class were exclaimed.

"Is it five thousand deputy tribute tribute?"

Since the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court has been on the list of the main examinations of each subject, with a deputy list of five subjects named as deputy tribute. Deputy tribute students on the deputy list cannot participate in the same examination with the juren, but they can directly apply to the next provincial examination and can be exempted from the subject examination.

It is still very important to be able to directly obtain the provincial examination qualification of the Xiake Academy and be exempted from competing with 600,000 scholars for the 600,000 provincial examination qualification quota.

"No, it's not the deputy tribute on the deputy list, it's the exam. More than 50,000 candidates failed the exam will take the exam again, and the 5,000 people with the best score will be admitted."

"Admission to a juren?"

Many scholars who failed the exam had already stood up excitedly. No matter whether they were juren who passed the exam or not, as long as they could win, they would be fine.

"I heard that the five thousand people who passed the exam were called Tongjuren."

Everyone looked at each other, only heard of the same Jinshi, but had never heard of the same Juren. Those who passed the exam in each subject were the first three, and were given the first Jinshi, and were given the second Jinshi, and were given the second Jinshi, and were given the third Jinshi.

Now I have a fellow Juren. Is that considered a Juren? The most important thing is, can I take the exam with Juren?

"The juren cannot participate in the examination for this subject with the juren, but can participate in the provincial examination for the next subject. Moreover, the imperial court admitted these 5,000 juren, and it is said that they were sent to the Beijing University for further study and then awarded official positions."

Countless sounds of air pumping sounded around.

He actually went to Beijing University to study and then was appointed as an official. There was such a good thing, even if he couldn't take the imperial examination, it would be nothing.

"Let me tell me carefully, what is the specific content?" The folding fan student didn't care about shaking the fan. He had already put away the folding fan. He asked with shortness of breath.

The so-called talent examination is to let more than 50,000 people fail the provincial examination take the exam again, and then admit 5,000 people at an almost 11 to 1 ratio.

These five thousand people will be given the same origin as Juren, and then they will be sent to the capital and go to the newly established Beijing University for four years of further study. In the first two years, they will study at the school, learn how to govern the government, etc., and internships in the next two years. In the first year, they will serve as officials in various departments of the capital, and in the second year, they will serve as officials in the yamen of various provinces and government offices.

After the four-year further study period expires, all the fellow juren will be assigned to all parts of the country, starting with ninth rank officials, deputy town mayors and deputy town mayors.

They can get real-time awards from the ninth rank after four years, and they are officials, not officials. Although they start as the youngest town mayor, they can be promoted to transfer according to their exams, and they will be promoted to magistrates or even to magistrates in the future. They will not be like those scholars who have become officials before, and they will only be officials in their lifetime.

Even the imperial court did not restrict them from participating in the imperial examinations again, and they could still participate in the provincial examinations again.

"If you are admitted, you have to study at the Peking University for four years? In two of them, you have to be an official in the Peking University and the local provincial government office for one year? After four years, you can only be awarded the ninth rank and the deputy township chief?"

Many scholars who were very excited just now failed the exam, but were a little disappointed at this time.

From the ninth rank and the deputy township chief, these made them hesitate a little.

However, the folding fan student was concentrating on his mind at this time. They are just scholars who failed the exam. According to the previous imperial examination practice, only by passing the imperial examination can one become an official. A few juren can also become officials, but they must have a relationship and a way. However, officials who are not from Jinshi have no hope for their future.

When a juren becomes an official, he usually serves as a county teacher and teaches such a school official.

But now, 5,000 of the more than 57,000 failed provincial examinations, which means one of them in the past eleven. Although it takes four years of further study, it will be an official as soon as it comes out. Even if it comes from the ninth rank, it is still an official, not an official. Moreover, the court does not restrict them from continuing to participate in the imperial examination, and this person can be promoted from the ninth rank.

Officials and officials were like chasm that could not be crossed in the past.

The folding fan scholar thought for a long time, and finally held the fan and knocked it hard in the palm of his left hand. Such a good opportunity must not be missed.

"I'm sorry to say goodbye to you in the same year, so let's take a step first."

"Brother, where are you going?"

"Go and review your homework and prepare to take the exam." After the folding fan scholar finished speaking, he left without saying a word. (To be continued.)
