Chapter 499
On the day of the listing, scholars gathered outside the examination room early. Even if they knew that their level was probably not enough, they would come over with a hint of luck.
We are more about watching the fun. After all, there will be many scholars today who will become officials because of the imperial examination. It is hard to say that they will become their parents' officials at any time, so it's better to come and learn about it.
More people, such as gentry, wealthy merchants, especially Zhang, Su and Zhen, the three families who first invested in Liu Tao, have sent people to wait here and plan to catch their son-in-law below the list.
If your own children fail to pass the exam, at least they must make the scholars who pass the exam become their son-in-law!
This result occurs because someone mentioned it a little at home, and then his wife obviously accidentally let it go. The three families who reacted immediately sent someone to catch the son-in-law below the list.
Naturally, more people were involved, mainly to join in the fun.
"Go a little further. Within this line, only scholars who refer to it are allowed to enter, and other idle people are not allowed to approach!" The Jinyiwei had to cooperate with the thief Cao from Jinyang, and pulled a warning belt to block the crowd from outside the warning belt.
If you continue to squeeze like this, I guess the minor officials who have released the results will not be able to get out.
The enthusiasm of the masses was very high, but fortunately, they never lacked awe of the government. So they consciously moved away, which made the scholars in the cordon breathe a sigh of relief.
"The list is out!" At this moment, someone shouted, and it turned out that the door to the examination room was opened, and a minor official had already come out with a list.
"It's now the third list. According to the initial decision, all the candidates on this list have obtained the same status as Jinshi. However, this time the scientific examination is special. The candidates on this list can only obtain the status of a juren." The little official announced.
This has been mentioned at the scientific examination mobilization meeting, so it is not surprising to everyone. It is more of a sigh that Liu Tao's imperial examination situation is so big.
First, he started elementary school at the age of six, and obtained the status of a child in the county examination at the age of twelve. After that, he could participate in the boy exam held by various states and obtain the status of a scholar. Only with the status of a scholar can he go to various prefectures to participate in the prefectures, and after passing the status of a juren.
In theory, a juren can become an official, but generally he can only serve as a minor official, or go to the border to serve as a county magistrate, county magistrate, or even a county magistrate. The key is to queue up. Only when there are no vacant places and there are not enough Jinshi, will he choose the best among the juren.
Only by obtaining the status of a juren can you come to Jinyang to take the imperial examination, which is the examination of this level of the scientific examination. If you pass the examination, you will be a "Jinshi". If you fail the examination, you will come back three years later.
The worst thing is that Liu Tao stipulated that the imperial examination can only be taken to the age of 40. After the age of 40, if he fails the exam, he has no choice but to find another way out. With more scholars in the future, he will probably be able to drop further to the age of 35.
After all, Liu Tao remembers that the imperial examination system of each dynasty seemed to be able to pass the exam until old age. If you really have to pass the exam at the age of 60 or 70, then you will not be able to do it for a few years, not only will you be abandoned for the past 60 or 70 years. You must know that the age of 60 is the age of retirement.
At that time, if you take the exam for a normal school and become a teacher in a county school, you will have enough teachers and a few more academys can be opened, which will allow more scholars to enter the academy. The ultimate goal is of course to cover every scholar.
If conditions permit, it is best to have compulsory education in both primary and county schools and compulsory admission, and even allow women to enroll.
Basically, the students of the Tongsheng graduated from elementary school, the scholar graduated from middle school, the Juren graduated from university, and the final Jinshi graduated from civil service exams, which are all exams at each stage.
At the same time, colleges are set up in various counties, states and prefectures. You can study for three years after passing the exam. The country can repeat the school after three years, but then there will be a fee. Anyway, with enough faculty, it can ensure that every student can study.
Therefore, the college entrance examination and the government examination can be cancelled, but scholarships can be considered to be set up and subsidies are given priority to outstanding students. Those who have no money can also provide work-study to earn tuition fees.
Also, because there is a first-level exam above the state exam, the provincial exam was changed to a government exam, and the original meaning of the government exam was gone.
"Oh, the next time I pass the exam, I will always be a Jinshi, starting with a county magistrate, a county magistrate, or something, but now I am just a juren..." Naturally, some people sighed.
"It's good. There is no county test, prefecture test and prefecture test. If you become a juren in one step, what else can you dislike?" Of course, some people refuted, mainly because the snow is not enough.
I thought about coming here to try it out. At least I could work hard for at least six or seven years, at least I would be a juren! Otherwise, if I really waited for the next time, I would probably start with the county examination and the prefectural examination first...
Those who are of average level also come to take the scientific examination, but in fact they are just a little lucky: it is said that Liu Tao lacks officials. If the standards are lowered, wouldn’t he be a juren?!
"What's wrong with it? You have to be on the list!" He had to refute the words before. Just now, he had been watching the list for a long time. He didn't have his own name and was a little anxious.
Even if I am not well-educated, I am still familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and have carefully completed the laws and policies. Why is there no name on it?!
After looking carefully three times, I found that I was really not anxious. Could it be that I didn’t even pass the exam for a juren?!
It is absolutely necessary to look at the scholar next to him who refuted him: "Hey, is your name on the list?"
"I've won, I've won!" The scholar next to me suddenly said excitedly, "Three lists are fifty-seven, haha, I'm a juren!"
The scholar who was planning to ask him suddenly kept silent. This guy was defeated and he didn't even have a slap? It's unreasonable!
"Don't worry, maybe it's the second or first?" Another scholar next to him muttered in a low voice. Obviously, he was also unknown on the list, but he was just more calm.
Yes, yes, there are two lists, and two lists... This scholar warned himself like this.
"Why are there only 72 people on the third list?" Someone soon discovered the problem. The list with the largest number of admissions in the third list should be the largest, and only 72 people on the second list. So, aren't there even fewer people on the second list?!
There are more than 500 people refer to it. If only more than 100 people are on the list in the final three lists, then this exam is really not easy.
Many people also began to discover this problem and became a little anxious. Especially those who were not of the level and felt that they were not among the seventy-two people, they probably wouldn't have the chance to be on the list.
"I have to say that this feeling of waiting for the list is really exciting..." Motor looked at the list. He didn't have his own name on the third list, and he was confident that he would not have it. At least it was the second list, and he should be able to win some of it in the first list.
But when the motor saw that he had no name on the third list, he actually felt his heartbeat.
Those who feel that there is no possibility of being on the list are already planning to leave, but they are just the gambler's mentality, which makes them reluctant to leave. At least, they have to look at the second list before they can leave. Otherwise, what should I do if I miss it?
And it feels too abrupt to leave at this time, and it is too embarrassing to see so many people behind.
"The second list is here!" At this time, someone found that the door to the examination room was opened again, and the minor official had already taken out the second list. As long as he passed the list, he would be a Jinshi, and the top ten would be able to obtain the status of a Jinshi.
"Top ten, top ten, top ten..." After deducting the three lists, the other scholars were whispering that the top ten and the ranking behind were a huge watershed.
If you are a Jinshi, you can already be a county magistrate or a county magistrate. Then you are the lowest in Jinshi, and you are also a county magistrate, and you are the highest in the Central Administration or other positions. There are not many people required for this type of official position, so there are fewer places.
Of course, the ten who are at the bottom of the list are also from Jinshi, and there is actually still a chance...
But if you don’t have confidence in the second list, how can you be confident to be on the first list? So the top ten of the second list is the biggest thought of many people.
"I won, I won!" The scholar who first said that he was very excited when he saw that the thirty-two had his own name. He was indeed on the second list! Then he felt a little resentful: Why is it the bottom in the second list? His level is obviously the top ten!
The entire second list really only admitted thirty-two candidates. This scholar is on the last place. Unfortunately, he is not called Sun Shan, otherwise he would probably be the first in the third list and would be sad that he would be "fameless".
Seeing that this scholar was only one place short of him, his mentality of being the first in the third list was a little broken at this moment.
"The second list is not on..." Although Ma Da felt that he might be on the first list, his mood was really up and down at this moment. After twenty years of tutoring and cultivation, he almost forgot everything. "It doesn't matter, there is still a chance in the first list!"
Seventy-two people were admitted on the third list, thirty-two people were admitted on the second list, and more than five hundred scholars were referring to it. As a result, only 104 people passed the scientific examination so far. Even if the first list exploded, it was estimated that only twenty or thirty people were allowed, that is, more than two-thirds of the people failed.
Yes, Liu Tao is indeed short of people, but he does not intend to relax the accuracy of the scientific examination. There are also countermeasures, such as after this scientific examination, you can hold another encore next year or the year after.
In this way, you can take the exam again. After a year of review, many of these scholars should be able to pass the imperial examination.
The candidates in the top ten of the second list are naturally extremely excited at this moment. With this identity, they are destined to be extraordinary when they become officials. There were originally three or five, and they planned to leave after passing the exam and humiliate Liu Tao.
Just seeing hundreds of people, only more than a hundred people passed the exam, I suddenly cherished my hard-earned opportunity. Missed this time, next time the exam... Whether others are willing to give him the exam is all a question.
Liu Tao won the imperial examinations and abandoned the filial piety and integrity and the system of recommendation. This means that he has a high reputation and may not be able to become an official. Miracle like the Eight Chef will no longer happen.
Similarly, if Liu Tao takes scholars like this, he will naturally no longer be accustomed to scholars. If they want to hang seals, they will naturally block them. If they want to take the exam again in the future, I am sorry, I don’t want to be accustomed to it!
Anyone with a little brain can obviously realize this problem. As long as you dare to give up this exam opportunity, your sketches will be on the blacklist of the imperial examinations of the Han Dynasty and will never be able to become an imperial examination.
"Can Liu Tao win the world?" Ma Da murmured, his voice so meticulous. He just planned to come over to spy on the imperial examination system, and then went back to tell Sun Jian that the younger brother who came with him was one year younger than him.
Unlike himself, his younger brother was the sixth Jinshi in the second imperial examination. Mada was going back, and their family had already put all the bets on Sun Jian. But his younger brother might be able to stay, if Liu Tao really won the world...
If you really want to calculate, there are five younger brothers who are actually very talented. But they are young, and neither he nor his third brother has yet to become an official, let alone the other younger brothers.
The main reason is that my father asked them to study for a few more years. After all, after becoming an official, they don’t have much time to read and study. While they can still accumulate knowledge and improve their knowledge, they must cherish such time.
Finally, the list came out. The list was not very long, and it looked like there were only a dozen names, which made people feel heartbroken. In this case, there were more than 500 people in this scientific examination, but only 130 people were less than 100 people...
"Brother, you won the second place!" At this time, the third brother pointed to the list and said to Motor excitedly.
Chapter completed!
