Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang smiled, put the test paper aside, and continued to deal with government affairs.
As a crown prince who now has a piece of territory in his hands, what he actually does most every day is handle government affairs.
Even if Zhu Cixiang only occupies Shandong province, no, because of General Lin Yi's Northern Expedition, his territory has now expanded a bit. In addition to Shandong, he also occupies part of Shanxi and Hebei.
His government affairs are still very busy. In particular, Zhu Cixiang is still carrying out some modernization reforms in government affairs. Although it is not very drastic, there are still many things to do. The officials below do not know what to do, so there are still many things to do.
Will come and ask him.
Ask him for instructions, so that Zhu Cixiang must deal with many seemingly trivial things every day.
But Zhu Cixiang is also very patient. He knows very well that this is an inevitable process.
Datian Village.
"Dad, there's no need to send him off. We're going to the county to take the exam today, and the teacher is sending us along!"
With a happy smile on his face, Chen Yi said to Chen Fangtian who was standing aside.
Chen Fangtian looked at Chen Yi in front of him with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"You have to pay attention to safety. You must hide the money I give you. Don't take it out unless you have to. Do you understand?"
Chen Fangtian said worriedly to Chen Yi in front of him.
"I know! Dad! The teacher said that we students don't need to bring money! When we go to the county, the county will provide us with food and accommodation!"
Chen Yi said proudly to Chen Fangtian in front of him.
"The teacher said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attaches great importance to scholars now. We scholars will definitely live a good life in the future!"
Looking at the proud Chen Yi in front of him, Chen Fangtian's heart moved slightly at this moment. He asked Chen Yi in front of him curiously: "I have always heard you talk about your teacher. So, what level of scholar is your teacher? A, B, C, D? Which one?
grade?"
Hearing Chen Fangtian's words, Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen Fangtian in front of him and said: "Dad, actually I don't know... but they are the first batch of teachers, and they should not have taken this kind of exam."
Bar!"
Chen Fangtian was stunned for a moment and nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay! Anyway, be more careful outside! Do you hear me?"
Chen Fangtian said to Chen Yi in front of him with some reluctance.
"Got it! Dad!"
"Chen Yi, I'm waiting for you!"
The large army at the entrance of the nearby village shouted towards Chen Yi.
"coming!"
"Dad, I'm going over first!"
"Go for it!"
With that said, Chen Yi quickly rushed into the large army of Datian Village on the side. Chen Fangtian had a trace of reluctance in his eyes. Looking at his son's back, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.
Chen Yi excitedly mingled with the children in Datian Village.
There are not only children, but also many young people who have learned something and want to try their luck. Anyway, in the county, it is just a screening.
The real examination has to go to the capital city. Each county can select one hundred scholars to go to the capital city to take the examination.
Of course, if the standards are met, the quota can be appropriately relaxed, and if the standards are not met, fewer people can be selected.
If there are more second-class scholars and above from this county, the better the political performance will be!
This is what Teacher Luo told them.
Children like them are just now able to read and recite the multiplication table. They just want to gain some test experience and see the world.
Anyway, this money is provided by the government, they don’t have to pay for it themselves.
So, this is a good time to increase your knowledge.
Chen Yi was very happy. After all, there were very few opportunities to go out like this. After all, poor families may not have a few opportunities to go to the county town throughout the year.
Even if he goes, usually he can only stay close to his father.
Now I can actually leave my father's side for a while. This kind of opportunity is too rare!
Therefore, Chen Yi was very happy.
Datian Village is actually only 20 to 30 miles away from the county seat. Teacher Luo did not take all the students to the county seat, because it would be too expensive and the government quota is not enough, so he would have to pay for it himself.
Therefore, Teacher Luo only took nine outstanding students, including Chen Yi, to the county seat.
They made two ox carts and headed to the county seat.
Chen Yi and others looked curiously at the road being built in front of them. The farmers in the fields on both sides of the road had smiles on their faces, and there were many unknown fruits and vegetables beside them.
Everything is prospering, and Chen Yi and others are talking about it.
Luo Xi looked at the scenes on both sides of the road with some emotion. Shandong has really changed a lot in the past few months!
His Royal Highness is awesome!
In emotion, Luo Xi brought several students to the county.
The county officials led Luo Xi and several students to find a place to live.
the next day.
Chen Yi came to the school to take the exam. The exam room was very solemn and solemn.
Looking at the questions in front of him, Chen Yi had a curious look in his eyes. These questions didn't seem to be too difficult. He had always had a good talent for reading.
Literacy is very efficient, it would take others a long time, but because Chen Yi was taught by his father when he was a child, it only took him more than ten days to read in front of the teacher.
He basically spent more than ten days on arithmetic and learned quite well.
His talent has always been top-notch when he was studying in the village school, so he is the youngest person from the village school who came to the county to take the exam this time.
Everyone else has some foundation before, and they are basically older than Chen Yi.
But Chen Yi's talent is greater than everyone else.
The exam only took three hours.
After the exam, Luo Xi and others did not leave, because this exam was a qualification exam for the Fucheng exam. After the results were released, those who met the standards could go to the Fu Yamen for the real grade exam.
Therefore, Luo Xi took his nine students and stayed in the county town for another night.
The next day, the results were released.
"Teacher Luo Xi from Datian Village has nine students, and there are three finalists for the Fucheng Grade Examination! They are: Li Tong, Liu Xi, and Chen Yi!"
After the officer next to him finished reading the notice in his hand, he said to Luo Xi in front of him: "Teacher Luo, you can take these three students to the county government tomorrow! At that time, there will be dedicated people in the county to send them to participate.
grade test!"
"thank you!"
After Luo Xi finished saying this, he walked over to the guard. Avoiding the sight of the students next to him, he carefully took out a small lump of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the guard secretly.
"Brother, the policeman, these students of mine are not very old. I hope that the brother, the policeman, can take care of me..."
