The successful holding of the recruitment conference caused quite a stir in the market. Many people were reacquainted with the academy, which was said to be founded for the Salesian Home. It turned out that the academy not only recruits orphans and widowers, but also anyone who is willing. You can go to the academy to study.
Of course, students from the Salesian Academy are free of charge, while others are required to pay the charge as normal.
Even so, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the majority of parents. Sending their children to apprenticeships also costs money. Whether they can learn something or not has to be judged. They also have to take care of things during the holidays. In this way, their children will still be regarded as the next generation. When comparing the two situations, is it better to study in an academy than to become a private apprentice?
Therefore, families who originally sent their children to apprenticeships changed their minds and sent them directly to the Salesian Academy. Not only did the academy not have to worry about being tutored, but they would not be taught crafts. After they successfully learned the skills, the academy could also help them find an employer. It was the best of both worlds. What.
As a result, the number of students at Salesian College increased significantly. Lin Jiaoyu smiled from ear to ear. He became more and more confident about the short-term training plan. He raced against time to go to Yongshan Hall to learn official document writing, and then started writing reports.
So when Ye Zhenzhen later received the news that the Queen had approved the proposal, she was not surprised at all.
Ye Zhenzhen's mood has not been very good these days. Mo Qingwei and Qin Yuyuan once again followed their husbands to take office. The next day, Chu Ningyan also returned to Jingning County to start planning to build a branch of Yongshan Hall. The four afternoon tea people were finally reorganized. It's hard not to feel sad that the group has to go their separate ways again.
However, Ye Zhenzhen could not be sad for long, as her attention was quickly diverted by the news informed by Cui Weizhen - he was likely to be the co-examiner for this examination.
There are chief examiners and co-examiners in the examination. The co-examiners assist the chief examiner in supervising the exam and marking papers. It is said that they also have the right to propose questions. Of course, whether the emperor chooses their questions is another matter.
The appointment of the examiner and co-examiners will only be made on the day of the examination. Cui Weizhen has only received a hint from Emperor Xuanwu. Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, this is already a confirmed fact.
Regardless of whether it is expressly or implicitly, this matter should not be publicized. If something goes wrong, the consequences will depend on the fraud case that year when Cui Weizhen was interviewed.
No wonder Cui Weizhen deliberately kept a distance from the scholars during the Lantern Festival. It turned out that he had already considered this.
However, Ye Zhenzhen could not help but become nervous.
She kept chattering: "You are going to Gongyuan to invigilate the exam. Do you want to prepare something for you? In the past, you had to bring food in during the exam. I don't know if you have a working meal when you become an examiner. That's all. Even if there is a working meal, it must be I will ask my servants to deliver the unpalatable big pot rice to you when the time comes... By the way, can the servants deliver the food to Gongyuan? That is a question..."
Cui Weizhen looked at her mumbling with a smile. He didn't feel bored. Instead, he thought she looked extremely cute. He might be the double standard Zhen'er said. He would be angry if Zhen'er worried about other things. Putting this worry on him is a different feeling.
Well, Zhen'er is his wife, and it's only natural to worry about him.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at him dissatisfied: "Why are you just giggling there? I don't understand the rules at Gongyuan, please tell me quickly so that we can make arrangements."
If you continue to watch the show, someone will get angry.
Cui Weizhen stopped as soon as he saw that he was ready, and said repeatedly: "It is forbidden to enter or leave after the examination starts. There are forbidden troops guarding the outside, and no one is allowed to enter. Of course, food delivery is not allowed. You only need to prepare food for me for one day. When the time comes,
I can eat it after I warm it up a little."
"That's too miserable. We don't even have a working meal, and we have to suffer the sins of the exam all over again." Ye Zhenzhen said sympathetically: "It seems like I have to prepare instant noodles for you again."
Instant noodles were specially prepared by Ye Zhenzhen for Cui Weizhen to eat for exams a few years ago. Because of their portability and other characteristics, they have quickly become the most popular travel food in the entire Zhou Dynasty. And because of their special origin, the general public has given it other choices.
Name: Zhuangyuan Noodles.
Although Ye Zhenzhen's initial name was very vivid, as Cui Weizhen became the top student in high school, this small piece of instant noodles became magical. Scholars from all walks of life rushed to praise it. Finally, some scholars called it the top scholar in a poem.
noodle.
You can win the first prize by eating No. 1 Scholar Noodles. This beautiful meaning is similar to the reason why later generations worshiped the ancestors of sects in exams. Whether they are scholars who rely on instant noodles to survive in the examination room or merchants and pawns, they all like "No. 1 Scholar Noodles" more.
A name with a more beautiful meaning.
In this regard, Ye Zhenzhen could only sigh, maybe after a thousand years, the instant noodles she learned from later generations can still become a traditional delicacy.
Of course, these are all digressions.
Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly ordered the kitchen to start making preparations... No, No. 1 Noodles. As soon as she came back, she thought of a serious problem.
"Zhang Yun also participated in the examination this time. You and he are well-known old friends. Will anyone make a fuss about it?"
Cui Weizhen is not worried about this: "There have been many examples of this over the years. Not to mention the relationship between relatives and friends, there is also a relationship between masters and disciples. When promoting talents, one does not avoid relatives. As long as one behaves properly, there is no need to worry about the impeachment of others.
."
Having said that, this is an idealized state, but it is inevitable that someone will make a fuss about this matter, otherwise why would there be such a thing as "avoiding suspicion"? She doesn't believe that Cui Weizhen can still be so naive.
Sure enough, under Ye Zhenzhen's suspicious eyes, Cui Weizhen finally explained the reason: "This time, the emperor will adopt a name-blinding system."
I see.
Today's imperial examinations have not yet matured, and the rules are not as strict as those of later generations. There is a "body search system", but there is no "name-blinding system". In fact, it does not mean that it does not exist. Cui Weizhen adopted the name-blinding system during the examination. Later, Ye Zhenzhen
Only then did I realize that it was a pilot project of the imperial government's policy. Now that the time is ripe, we can finally implement the name-blinding system in the examinations.
This is also a great tool to prevent fraud.
Ye Zhenzhen nodded approvingly and asked another question: "Anonymous can prevent the marking officer from identifying the person when marking the paper, but what if the handwriting on the examination paper can be recognized?"
Cui Weizhen asked her with a smile: "What suggestions does Zhen'er have?"
Ye Zhenzhen recalled the practice of a certain dynasty and said: "Let people specially copy the examination papers of the scholars, and the marking officer will judge the grade on the copied examination papers."
It's indeed a good idea, but... "The quality of a scholar's calligraphy is also one of the criteria for judging examination papers."
"What's so difficult about this? Just set a writing score and it can be judged separately. The two will not affect each other."
Although it sounds easy to say, it is not easy to implement in practice. Cui Weizhen thought thoughtfully. He will raise this opinion with the emperor. As for whether the emperor will adopt it, that is another matter.
