The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 57
two months later.

It's time for the exam.

Several people went to Shaoxing together again.

The examiner this time is Xuezheng, who was sent by the top.

He is a doctor of the Ministry of Rites and a fifth-rank official.

The process is not too different from the hospital examination and government examination.

The content of the exam is not much different.

It is nothing more than classics and stereotypes.

After the exam.

Runtu still felt very relaxed.

But the faces of the other two were not very good.

Like future exams, candidates can estimate the approximate scores.

Back in Kuaiji, we had less conversations together.

After more than ten days, the results came out.

Brother Xun failed the list, but Runtu was on the list.

As before, it is still the case.

Runtu lamented his good luck, after all, there were so many candidates.He is sure that he can pass, but first, he really never thought about it.

Maybe it's because the idea of ​​my article is relatively novel, which suits the examiner's appetite.

Whether you can pass or not depends entirely on the examiner's preference, and whoever is the first is also the examiner's preference.Since ancient times, there has been no number one in literature. If you want to get the number one, luck is a must.

The strengths of the top few are all about the same, each has its own strengths, and who can be number one depends entirely on preference.

Originally, Runtu's calligraphy was also a great advantage, but when a copy was copied by the scribe, this advantage was lost immediately.

Luck is very important, just like the gray-haired Fan Jin, who can't survive for decades, so he probably won't be liked by the examiner.

Fan Jin has a high level of talent and learning. When a chief examiner discovered that Fan Jin's essays were superior, he passed the Juren examination, skyrocketed, and was admitted to the Jinshi examination.

When he knew the result, Mr. Jingwu was very happy and told Runtu about it.

"Thank you for the cultivation, sir. Sir, this is a ginseng from the medicine shop, and I give it to you to nourish your body."

"Runtu, take it back. You can achieve something, which is the greatest reward for me. Three days later, the county magistrate said that he wants to see you again, so get ready."

Happiness was revealed in the tone of the gentleman.

No. 1 in the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination is called the head of the case, and three cases in a row are called the small three yuan, which is also very rare.

Dasanyuan is No.1 in the provincial examination and palace examination.

There are still so many small three-yuan ones.It is estimated that there will only be one of the big three yuan in a hundred years.

Runtu went to buy another set of clothes and shoes, special clothing for scholars.

It can be regarded as public food.There are dozens of catties of rice every month.If you don't kneel when you see an official, your status is somewhat higher.

Three days later, Mr. You brought him to the county lord's yard.

A lot of people came here.

Most of them are scholars, and there are one or two juren, all of whom are scholars, and no merchants come here.

The current county magistrate is also a scientific examiner, and a Jinshi several years ago is considered to be the one with the highest education.

Runtu saw an acquaintance, Mr. Shen who gave a speech and taught new learning was also here.

Isn't the magistrate afraid of his remarks?

"Brother Jingwu, congratulations, this is the student?"

"Brother Shanchang, he is Runtu, Zhang Runtu. Runtu, this is my friend, Mr. Shanchang."

"I met Mr. Shanchang."

There are fewer people on Mr. Shen's side, and the new learning he taught may be a bit deviant to the people of today.

But Mr. Shen not only knows how to learn new things, but also has the attainments of Chinese studies. He is a scholar.Otherwise I wouldn't be here.

Mr. Shen was very courageous, so he went directly to the county magistrate, "Your Excellency, Mr. Shen wants to establish a western school."

He often lectures.

But there is no scale. He wants to open a school, which is inseparable from the support of the government.

Fortunately, the Westernization Movement is popular now.

Western-style schools are no longer a precedent.

Thinking of setting up a Western-style school in Kuaiji.

"My lord, China is so big and has so many disadvantages. It is impossible not to cultivate talents fundamentally. When I came back from studying in Japan, what I wanted was to reform education. To promote new learning, Japanese, English and other courses should be offered. ... and subjects like chemistry and physics. It's called science."

The county magistrate was obviously a little impatient: "Mr. Shen, this matter should be considered in the long run."

He is also afraid.

Although it is now undergoing reform and reform, it has begun to be vigorous.

But what if the general direction is wrong, there is a trouble on the top, and the bottom is very troublesome.

The county magistrate also knows that Mr. Shen often speaks.

Just pretend you haven't seen it, neither advocate nor prohibit it, just let it go.

Seeing that the county magistrate didn't take it seriously, Mr. Shen was still a little anxious, "Your Excellency, do you know modern science? Do you know the theory of the circle of the earth? The earth is not flat. Do you know the theory of evolution, nature chooses the fittest to survive. Lightning is the result of the collision of yin and yang electricity, not a flash made by Thor."

"Mr. Shen, as I said, think long-term. You have stayed abroad, and you are a scholar in this county. You should do it yourself."

The county magistrate's tone became a little more serious.

He is a person who loves talents, and he knows that this person surnamed Shen is a great talent.

If possible, I want him to come to the county government to handle affairs.

Or let him teach.After all, he is a scholar.

But some of his remarks made the county magistrate a little scared.

I thought it would be better to talk less in the future.

Fortunately, this is Kuaiji, just a small county.

Even if something happens, it cannot be spread outside.

Mr. Shen still wanted to continue. He knew that the county magistrate was a little angry, but he still wanted to say that his belief was relatively firm.

Many people have seen their side.

"Who is that person talking to the county magistrate?"

"It's quite famous recently. A scholar several years ago, he went to Dongying to drink foreign ink for two years. But I heard that he has some knowledge."

The conflict between old and new cultures is relatively large.

There are many who accept new learning, but there are also many who stick to the old rules.

Some look down on each other.

But now those who learn new learning are usually those who know Chinese culture.

Runtu also saw Mr. Shen, and it seemed that the quarrel had intensified.

A scholar can quarrel with the county magistrate. It seems that the status of a scholar is quite good.

Just like future civil servants.

The poor staff dared to quarrel with the director.

Runtu stepped forward and called out, "Mr. Shen."

All of a sudden, Mr. Shen's attention was diverted.

Mr. Shen was very impressed with Runtu.

Although he had only met and talked twice, some words of Zhang Runtu made him feel enlightened.

"RunTu."

The county official didn't expect the two of them to know each other.

"My lord the county."

"Runtu, this banquet is specially held for you."

The probability of Xiao Sanyuan is too low, so the county magistrate will personally congratulate Runtu.Otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned about other talents.

At the same time, it is also to meet some outstanding scholars in the county.

The status of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars, at least on the surface, is the highest.

Mr. Shen knew that Runtu was very knowledgeable, but he did not expect to be able to get to the top of the case.
