The imperial examination in all dynasties has been one of the top priorities of the country, especially the imperial examination in the third year of Dade. Because the imperial examination has not been held for five years, the number of candidates for the imperial examination this year has reached a terrifying number of 5,000, and there are even some scholars. Because there are too many people, I don’t know whether I should give up the imperial examination.
Come and participate. The probability of choosing 180 people out of 5,000 people is extremely low.
Don't take part. The last imperial examination was in the 27th year of Taiqian, that is, five years ago. Emperor Taiqian died four years ago. Emperor Dade succeeded to the throne three years ago, but encountered the Jiangnan puppet Wu Liguo. The imperial examination will be held this year, and we don’t want to be delayed by anything next time, which will ultimately interrupt our official career.
As a result, five thousand scholars lived in the 108 squares of Longdu City, with an average of one hundred scholars living in each square. This was an unprecedented event, and in order to make the scholars live comfortably, Su Yu, the governor of Longdu Prefecture, It was ordered that during the imperial examination period, all inns, restaurants, restaurants, snack vendors, and brothels in Longdu City must not increase prices...
Although this last request seemed a bit strange, Su Yu's price reduction order still made almost all the scholars praise him. They said that although Mr. Su did not come from the imperial examination, Mr. Su was indeed a good official. However, Su Yu offended many businessmen in Longdu. Everyone was planning to take advantage of the imperial examination candidates to come to Longdu to make a fortune. Who would have thought that he would not allow everyone to increase their prices, and also sealed up seven businesses for disrespecting the order, and had them The inn was confiscated.
The Su family was even more angry. Su Yu's eldest brother Su Jing believed that the reason why Su Yu asked the brothel not to increase the price was because the Su family had eight brothels. After the family split, Su Yu made the order to disgust the Su family.
On the fifth day of October, a notice was issued in front of Taiyuan University, announcing that the number of students admitted this year would be increased to 450, and that the top three rankings of heaven, earth, and people would be cancelled. At that time, all admitted students, including the number one scholar and the second best, would have to enter the university affiliated to Taiyuan University. After three years of official study at the Royal Academy of the Holy Han Dynasty, the title of candidate will be replaced by a college student. During the three years of studying at the Royal Academy, the court will provide food and accommodation, and give each college student a scholarship of three taels of silver per month.
As soon as this news came out, it shocked the whole world. Students rushed to tell each other. Firstly, everyone was shocked by the 450 places. Secondly, they were shocked by the Shenghan Royal Academy. What on earth is this Royal Academy? The Longdu nobles who had heard the rumor before also spread the rumor one after another, saying that in the future, all officials must study in the Royal Academy, and only college students who graduated from this school are eligible to serve as officials. In the future, the road to donating officials will be cut off.
As soon as this statement came out, scholars and scholars all over the world applauded and cheered, saying that the court had finally opened its eyes, and those who donated officials no longer had to harm the court. Everyone hated donating officials. After all, after ten years of studying hard in a cold window, they were actually killed by a wealthy man. Who can bear it when rich people spend money to block their future? It would be fine if another scholar is better than themselves, but the officials are the sons of businessmen who are looked down upon by them and are full of copper stench. This is simply unbearable for the scholars.
Scholars are becoming more and more supportive of the imperial court and are more and more optimistic about the imperial court. Zhang Xiaowu's reforms are also on the road to success.
In the Wangxingyuan tea house in Guirenfang, dozens of scholars gathered together in twos and threes. They drank tea and chatted, ate pastries and talked about the past and present. There were even a few women sitting at tables in the corner. Guazi drank tea and talked and laughed from time to time, attracting the attention of many students. It’s not that these women were not from serious families, the folk customs of the Holy Han Dynasty were martial and open, and some unmarried girls also went out shopping with their friends’ permission with their families’ permission. Let’s get together. Not to mention unmarried girls, it is also natural for newlyweds to go shopping.
This year coincides with the imperial examination year. Five thousand talents from all over the country came to the capital. The topic in the capital in the past few months has been about the imperial examination and young talents from all over the country. You must know that if you can marry your daughter to a young talent, what will happen in the future?
When young talents flourish, the whole family will benefit from it.
Of course, if there are any unmarried women who fall in love with someone else, even if they are famous, they are willing to commit themselves to her and perform a good show in the world.
The topic that the scholars talked about was naturally this year's imperial examination. There was so much to talk about about this imperial examination. Candidates from all over the world exchanged information here and inquired about the news they needed, especially about
About the Royal Academy.
"Everyone, I heard from my third uncle's fifth aunt's cousin's nephew's friend that this Royal Academy will be divided into five subjects, namely Confucian classics, history, literature, science, and science. There will be ninety students in each subject, and there will be three classes in each subject.
The class has a class teacher, and these class teachers are all Tai students who have taken official positions. It is really interesting for Tai students to take charge of the bachelor's degree."
"What do these five subjects mean?"
"I know very little about this. I have only heard of one thing, which is that in science, you need to know how to calculate. To give an example, how many people are there in a county and how much food a person needs every day. From this autumn to next autumn's harvest,
The total amount of food that the people need to eat, if the official knows nothing about this quantity
You know, it is very likely that the people will starve to death all over the country. Therefore, this calculation method is really something that officials must master, especially for some officials who only want to make money and do not consider the people. These moths must be eliminated from the officialdom.
The Central Committee of the DPRK said that if you don’t make decisions for the people as an official, it’s better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!”
"good!"
Suddenly, there was a roar of applause in the Stargazing Garden. Now everyone knows that regardless of whether the left prime minister or the right prime minister is easy to use, the highest official position in the court is the Central Command. This Central Command is directly under the control of the emperor, so the Central Command
The Ling is the top official with more than ten thousand people under one person, and the Central Ling is the head of hundreds of officials.
"Everyone! Everyone! Everyone!" A square-faced scholar hurriedly reminded, "Although the starting point of the central order is good, it is a pity that he can change the huge officialdom of the Holy Han Empire? Let alone other places, this is it.
Longdu, he can make Longdu peaceful, I admire him!"
"Don't worry about whether you can change it or not. In short, it is definitely a good thing for someone to take Bichen in the officialdom seriously."
"Yes, yes, it's definitely a good thing."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said nothing in a corner, hearing others praise him, and he felt naturally happy. He stroked his fake beard, took a bite of cake, and suddenly a sweetness warmed his heart. Maybe this is the human
You feel refreshed during happy events, and even when you eat, you feel much sweeter.
"Brother Ximen." Sitting across from him was an impossibly handsome young man, who immediately attracted the attention of the women at the two tables. This young man's skin was as thick as fat, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his eyes were like a pool of deep water, which made people stunned.
After taking one look at it, I fell into it and couldn't extricate myself. If this man didn't smile, his smile would be alluring. Facing Zhang Xiaowu, he just smiled slightly, which almost made the women watching from a distance breathe faster.
"What a handsome young man." Someone couldn't help but say.
