After Yuzhu returned to the capital, he went to Tang Bing to study at two o'clock every day as before.
The provincial examination is about to take place, and even if you let Yuzhu play around, he won't do it.
After working hard for many years, Han Chuang studied hard, just for the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination in more than two months, and the Rites Examination next spring. Yuzhu is a fool, so he wanders around like a hawk and a dog.
After careful sorting and analysis, Yuzhu discovered that the exam secrets given by He Zichang and Qin Benchu complemented each other and were indispensable.
In particular, Qin Benchu's examination experience was very insightful and revealed many mysteries that were not taught in the examination room.
With such a powerful gentleman, it’s no wonder that Jiangnan Province always produces top candidates.
For example, there is a reason why Shaanxi, Gansu, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces have not produced a Jinshi for more than ten years.
One is that the teaching staff is weak, the other is that the quality of the students is not good, and the third is that no one has continuously summarized the rules of the imperial examination.
This is just like the admission rate of third-rate high schools, which are all based on the number of people who passed the third-level exam. However, the national key middle school not only emphasizes the admission rate of undergraduates, but also publicizes the admission rate of C2.
With the undisclosed secrets of He Zichang and Qin Benchu, and the careful teaching of Tang Bing, a famous teacher, Yuzhu's understanding of the provincial examination has deepened several levels.
Only those scholars who rank first and second in the examination at the age of 18 are eligible to take the scientific examination. Only those who pass the scientific examination can participate in the provincial examination in August.
Unlike other provinces, Shuntian Prefecture has a very special status. In order to fully take care of the children of the powerful, the provincial examinations sent by Shuntian Prefecture are held at the end of June as usual.
At the end of June, Yuzhu, together with more than 2,000 students, passed the scientific examination chaired by Tixue Yushi.
In the inner study room of Tang Mansion.
Tang Bing twisted his beard and chuckled softly: "First of all, I ranked first in the first class of the yearly examination, and first in the scientific examination. Hey, the chief, deputy examiner and fellow examiners of the provincial examination are too embarrassed not to explain it to you.
It’s a good name for me.”
Yuzhu understood what Tang Bing meant. To put it bluntly, everyone wanted to flatter Kangxi and get the auspicious light so that they could be promoted and make a fortune.
Since the forty years since Kangxi, Kangxi's obsession with auspiciousness has become increasingly crazy.
With Kangxi's shrewdness, how could he not know that the governor below was actually deliberately reporting false auspiciousness?
However, the auspicious reports reported by the governors were all praised by Kangxi as usual.
What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom.
The King of Chu had such a thin waist that many people died of starvation in the palace.
Due to Kangxi's public encouragement, the trend of forging auspiciousness among the people below has become more and more intense.
Under the pressure of auspicious correctness, how many officials dare to stick to their principles?
Anyway, so far, none of the public prosecutors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate have dared to tell the truth. The six subjects had the right to refute the matter, but they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, turning a blind eye to the auspicious wind.
The officials of Kedao became silent, and the Qingliu people of Hanzhan and Zhan collectively became myopic. The civil and military ministers of the entire dynasty only dared to praise Kangxi and say nice things, and no one dared to disobey his father's preference for auspiciousness.
Historically, the longer an emperor reigns, the more likely he is to make mistakes in his later years.
The core problem is that the longer the emperor is in power, the more important official positions in the court are held by his people.
Under the majesty of absolute power, everyone only dared to praise the saint vigorously, but did not dare to tell the truth.
Under this background, Yuzhu also got a lot of glory. Because the examiners all tacitly wanted to create a surprising auspiciousness and greatly please Kangxi.
No one collected money, and no one gave bribes. However, due to the auspiciousness and correctness, every official who dealt with it understood and opened the door to Yuzhu.
"It's better to be young. A fifteen-year-old Manchurian Jinshi is incredible. If he is a fifteen-year-old Manchurian champion, tsk tsk, it will be an unprecedented auspicious event for the country." Tang Bing sighed for a while, feeling both sour and sour.
Feel relieved.
Twenty years ago, today's situation was not what it is today. At that time, Kangxi was wise, powerful, insightful, and worthy of being a wise king.
Now, let alone anything else, changing orders from morning to night, enjoying great achievements, spending money like water, and being too lenient have led to the decline of the country.
The good prince actually didn't do anything, but Kangxi was so nagging at him that he went crazy.
Tang Bing only dared to complain about this in his heart and never dared to say it out loud.
In fact, most of the Han officials in the court supported Prince Yinreng.
Yinfeng was not only the legitimate son of the middle palace, but also the legitimate crown prince. According to the etiquette of Han Confucianism, he was the most suitable heir to the empire.
Objectively speaking, Yin Reng was not as greedy for money, lustful and misbehaving as he is now.
Ever since Kangxi suspected that Suo'etu wanted to force him into the palace, he found a very lame excuse and killed Suo'etu and his sons. Not only did Prince Yinreng's strength decrease greatly, but his temperament also changed drastically.
However, the Han officials only had pens in their hands, no swords, and no money. No matter how much they supported Yinreng, it would be of no use. They were in a category that could be ignored in the fight for the throne.
After all, the personnel, finance and military power of the imperial court were all in the hands of the great Manchu nobles.
However, if Yuzhu can become a Manchu Jinshi, Tang Bing's reputation and status will definitely rise with the tide.
If it is said that Yuzhu really became the first Manchu champion since the founding of the Qing Dynasty by chance. Hehe, Tang Bing will definitely make a fortune following his promotion.
These days, let alone a top-ranked teacher, even a teacher who understands the subject's teachings can never earn less than 3,000 taels of silver from teaching every year.
Because the fair price for Shuntian Prefecture’s Jieyuan Master is five hundred taels per year, which cannot be lower.
Masters of Jieyuan usually have five to ten disciples, so as not to fail during the provincial examination, lose face, and affect subsequent financial resources.
If Han people want to be an official, they must take the imperial examination and recruit famous teachers.
As long as you are a parent who has been elected or has been an official, you will understand the principle that you must start studying from childhood.
Objectively speaking, the more a scholarly family has tasted the benefits of being an official, the more it attaches importance to the education of its children, and the more willing it is to spend a lot of money to hire famous teachers to teach them.
Yuzhu became an extremely valuable Manchurian scholar. No matter what, Longkodo would promote Tang Bing's official position to several levels.
How happy is it to have both money and name?
When Tang Bing thought about what he was proud of, he couldn't help but smile and said: "This trip to the south of the Yangtze River has been fruitful, right?"
"Yes, thank you for your mentor's guidance. The student's knowledge has greatly increased, and he knows that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. He is no longer a frog sitting in a well." Yuzhu said the truth.
Both Qin Benchu and He Zichang were not only Jinshi, but also the top scientific experts in Jiangnan.
The secrets of scientific research that they summarized and refined are not their own, and no matter how much money they spend, they cannot buy them.
Seeing that Li Si'er's thirty-fifth birthday was approaching, Yuzhu took out a cloth rabbit made by himself and presented it to Li Si'er as a birthday gift.
Li Si'er had millions of taels of silver in her pocket, and Longkodo was a high-ranking admiral of the Nine Sects. She lacked nothing but sincerity.
The cloth rabbit is made vivid and lifelike, and it is obvious that a lot of hard work has been put into it.
Li Si'er's eyes suddenly turned red, and he subconsciously reached out his hand to hug Yuzhu.
Yuzhu had already expected such a move from Li Si'er. He didn't move his upper body and retreated with his feet, barely escaping Li Si'er's clutches.
"Hey, you kid, can't you let Enie hold you in a hug?" Under Longkodo's pampering, Li Si'er has been the king and dominator in the family for many years, and has long forgotten all the ethics.
