There are people who play the piano, people who sing, and people who dance.
Naturally, there are also those who are enchanted in his arms.
These days, having fun in a place like Yan Chun Tower is an "elegant thing".
It's just that Lu Fang's eyes were really tricked by Chen Youxi. Although these seven fairies were all pretty, they were difficult to catch his eyes.
If he were given the choice, he would feel more relaxed and comfortable calling some hustlers.
But if you drink with a glutton like Yu Bei, you will inevitably have to make fun of it.
late at night.
The two of them left Yanchun Tower with the Madam's attentive farewell, arms around each other.
"Brother Lu Xian, having a drink with you really makes me feel like my brother and I have lived in vain all those years."
"Haha, as long as I don't dislike it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Lu Fang patted the money bag on his waist.
Yu Bei staggered drunkenly, "Hiccup, this, this can't be done. Brother, I have no merit and no reward..."
Lu Fang chuckled, "As long as I just turn a blind eye, it will be fine. Even if it doesn't work, just make friends."
Both of them looked drunk, but their eyes were clearly clear.
"well."
Yu Bei nodded.
I just don’t know whether he promised Lu Fang the first half of the sentence or the last half of the sentence.
…
A few days passed quickly.
In the past few days, Lu Fang read in the county government office during the day, and took Yu Bei to Yanchun Tower for drinking at night.
Fortunately, Chen Youxi was a considerate person and didn't say anything else except telling him to drink less.
Of course, maybe it’s because I feel like I’m just an outsider. Or maybe, I’m extra confident in my own charm.
The child test has arrived.
The five-day period has also arrived.
No bandit leader came to the county government office to surrender.
This did not surprise Lu Fang. Those people were used to the life of a mountain king, so they would not willingly go to the county government office to accept their crimes.
However, as long as many ordinary bandits can go back to farming honestly, then this method of removing salary from the bottom of the cauldron will be successful.
The county government has recruited nearly three hundred soldiers.
Lu Fang asked Han Feihong to practice in person.
As expected, Yu Bei turned a blind eye.
He has not explicitly agreed to "borrow troops" to Lu Fang to suppress the bandits, but as the saying goes, a cannibal has a short mouth and a weak hand. On this matter, there is no reason why he should not give Lu Fang face.
That would only offend Lu Fang to death.
Yu Bei is a staunch egoist and would not do such stupid things.
However, it will undoubtedly take time for the soldiers recruited by the county government to become combat effective.
June 12.
Zhongfu arrives.
Although it is cloudy, the weather is still extremely hot.
The location of the children's examination was set up in the school office within the county government. Tan Zhiming, the teacher of Youxian County, presided over the examination, and Lu Liang personally invigilated the examination.
The examination questions are set separately by the teachers in each county and then submitted to the Tanzhou Prefectural Government. The Tanzhou Prefectural Government then distributes them to each county in random order.
This greatly prevents the occurrence of fraud cases.
If you want to cheat, you have to buy all the teachings from more than ten counties in Tanzhou. Then, you have to answer all the test questions in more than ten counties.
Who would go to such great lengths to gain fame as a scholar?
Even when the sky was dark, many Youxian students had already gathered outside the Youxian County Government Office, probably close to two hundred of them.
Among them, the young ones are under adulthood, while the old ones are probably in their early forties.
There were so many people gathered, naturally in small groups, and it was very lively.
There are those in Youxian County, and there are also those in surrounding towns and villages.
Lu Fang also rushed out to watch the fun.
But it didn't get involved.
Seeing more and more candidates gathering here, I felt a little emotional.
He was a bit confused as to why there were still people of several dozen years old participating in the children's examination.
At this age, I haven't even been able to pass the children's exam. Either I've lost my mind in studying, or I really have no talent.
In his opinion, there is really no need to take the exam again if you fail to pass the exam by the age of thirty, let alone a child student.
Late bloomer?
So when will it be late?
Unless you are extremely lucky, it is almost impossible to win the lottery.
These people have been stuck in books all their lives and don't even know the whole grain. They will only bring down the whole family.
This situation is not uncommon in various parts of the Chongqing Dynasty.
According to Lu Liang, there are more than 500 candidates applying for the Children's Examination in You County this time. The county government selects two out of ten based on probability.
In other words, probably more than a hundred people will pass the child test in the end.
Then these candidates obtain the qualifications for the provincial examination and go to the main city to take the examination with the children from previous years. There must be hundreds of people in You County.
The probability of admission to the rural examination is lower than that of the children's examination, and there are almost all quotas. In a county like Youxian, there are about twenty talents in each imperial examination.
It will be difficult to take the exam again. There may not be anyone in a county who has the honor of being a high school student.
In the past years, the number of Jinshi candidates selected by the imperial examinations in the Great Chongqing Dynasty was only about 200. The probability of being selected as a Jinshi was about 2%.
In other words, there are approximately 10,000 candidates taking the examination each session.
These 10,000 people are broken down into counties, state capitals, and counties. Naturally, they are very few. After all, some areas have a popular academic style and will occupy most of the places.
The imperial examination system has just been restructured this year, all subjects have been abolished, and Jinshi has been given priority. The number of people admitted is probably several times higher.
But at the same time, all students take the Jinshi examination, and the reference base is also larger. The probability will be higher, but not much higher.
These days, if you want to stand out as a high school Jinshi, it's simply not possible to cross a single-plank bridge.
The imperial examination is an opportunity for poor students to leap over the dragon's gate, and it is the only way to change social class.
But after all, how many people can transform into a dragon?
"Candidates are admitted!"
As a government official rang the gong at the door, the child examination was about to begin.
The candidates were inspected by the yamen officers one by one and then entered the venue.
Fortunately, the county government office occupies a large enough area and there are tents set up outside. Otherwise, it would really not be able to accommodate so many people.
In this process, even Lu Fang was no exception and went through the "inspection" step obediently.
However, those government officials knew that he was Lu Liang's younger brother, so naturally they were just showing off.
Now, with Jiang Shi's order, Luliang has the power of life and death of the county officials. But they are the food, clothing and parents of these people.
The most important thing is that Lu Deye and others who were able to "induct" the county magistrate with them in the past were all taken to Tanzhou.
How many people in the county dare to get into trouble with Magistrate Lu now?
Haven’t you seen that Mr. Huang Xingchang, the County Registrar, has been honest recently?
Hundreds of people just entered the venue, and more than an hour passed.
The exam starts at this time.
The first day is to examine the meaning of the scriptures, the next day is to write poems and poems, and the last is to discuss strategies.
At the end of the application time, you are not allowed to leave the venue in the middle. The county government is in charge of the meal.
After all, there is an application fee.
Classical meaning can be said to be Lu Fang's shortcoming. This is because the various classical theories of this era have similarities and differences with those of previous generations.
His reading amount is still too little, and he is far behind those students who have studied the classics for many years.
And even the hatred value search engine cannot find the classic doctrines of this era. Whether you can encounter similar ones depends on luck.
