Xiangye

Chapter 182
The so-called quota is the number of students who can participate in the rural examination given by the provincial education administration to each state and county.

It's as if the imperial court gave each province a certain number of Juren every three years.For example, there are fifty people in remote provinces, and sixty people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Of course, this number will be adjusted accordingly as national policies are different and areas with underdeveloped culture and education are properly taken care of.Anyway, learn from the lessons of Ming Chu's North and South List case.The academic officials of the Ming Dynasty basically had an average idea when adjusting the number of candidates from various provinces and places.Regardless of whether the culture and education of each place is developed or not, the population and economic situation are all the same number.

For example, each county in Shaanxi Province has nine quotas for each township examination, and a bowl of water is flat.

Thus, a strange situation arises.Take Shaanxi Province as an example, not to mention Qinghai and Longxi, even if it is an underdeveloped area like Zhuanglangfu in Pingliang, every time the exam comes, even nine scholars may not be able to get together.As long as you sign up, most of them can come to Xi'an Gongyuan.

However, the Xi'an, Fengxiang and Hanzhong prefectures in the Guanzhong area are economically developed, have a large population, and have many scholars, so the number of nine people is not enough.

The township examination is held every three years, but the boy's examination is held every year, and a group of talents can be produced every year. In this way, it is debatable who will go and who will not.

Generally speaking, lin students who have entered county schools and prefectural schools are eligible for the exam, such as stone lin students, while others can only participate in the qualifying competition.

In places like Hancheng, there are many scholars.Some studied in the county school; some studied for many years, and their families were really poor, so they had no choice but to sit in the library to teach teachers;Over the past few decades, two or three hundred scholars have accumulated.

I heard that there were 200 people in Hancheng who signed up for this acquaintance.There was no other way, the provincial government sent a master to take the exam, and set the third-class results, excellent, good, and qualified.How many people were selected from each of the three classes to make up enough numbers.

These nine people are the correct answer contestants from Hancheng County, and they can enter the township examination room.

Mr. Yu went to the county school before, but was kicked out because he failed the assessment.This time, in order to fulfill my wish, I also signed up for the exam.Fortunately, the foundation is still there, barely ranked second in the third class, and qualified.In fact, his total score was ranked outside the top [-] out of [-] candidates, but just because he was ranked second in the third class, he actually made it.Speaking of which, the selection test for this player is not fair, and most of the time it is about character. Boss Yu's luck is really enviable.Naturally, Gao Wen, a modern person, felt incredible and incomprehensible.

In fact, in a remote province like Shaanxi, due to the poor natural conditions, officials can't even think about making achievements in other places. Only culture and education can be put in some effort.It has to be said that Du Shenghui is still very worried about this rural examination.

It is reported that when the students were going to take the exam, Du Zhixian also held a ceremony of jumping over the dragon gate in the county government.In the end, each person also gave three taels of silver for travel expenses.

After hearing the news, Gao Wen just sneered in his heart.To be honest, even if there is his future father-in-law and former friend Yu Xingyan in this group of candidates, he does not think that any of them will be able to make the final list.As for Huang Wei, it was even worse.

In fact, Gao Wen still had a lot of confidence in this rural examination.Don't say it is [-]%, [-]% is there after all.In the imperial examination field, [-]% is already very remarkable.If Du Shenghui hadn't turned against him, Gao Wen might have been the only new imperial examination candidate in Hancheng in the past ten years.

It's a pity, but I went to Zhuang Lang, and this political achievement will fall into the hands of Diaozhi County.

Du Shenghui deserved it!

Now that the audience mentioned Huang Wei, Gao Wen's heart shuddered.

Like Shi Linsheng, Huang Wei did not take the preliminaries.He had already entered a government school under the operation of his backstage boss before, bought a list name, and got a place in the township examination.

This birdman used the backstage and spent a lot of money to come to the exam, not just to bet against me, Gao Wen.Could it be that he is sure of winning, but he doesn't know where his confidence comes from?

Thinking of this, Gao Wen was puzzled again.If you talk about cheating, two great masters, the eighteenth room and the same examiner, even if they bribe one or two people, it won't help.But if you want to bribe 20 people at the same time, even the cabinet elders can't do it in person.

This is strange.

"Huang Wei, what kind of scholar is he?" A scholar said disdainfully: "I have been a boss for more than ten years, and I am a dog in the business. I am afraid that I have returned the words of the sages I read in the early years. But he wants to come here." Take a share, Xiaosheng will be the first to be unconvinced."

Hearing what he said, several other people also nodded and said, "Yes, isn't this a waste? He will definitely not pass the exam. Instead of that, it's better to let others."

"By the way, do you know Li Sheng from Guliba Village?" a scholar asked.

Shi Linsheng: "Why don't you know, Li Xiongcheng is also a talented person among the scholars in our county."

"Yes, that's him." The scholar said: "Brother Xiong Cheng got a good grade in the preliminary examination this time, ranking third, so he could come to Xi'an originally. However, because Huang Wei took up a place in the prefectural school, the number of third-level students will be cut. He has no choice but to wait for another two years. He is already in his fifties. If he fails the next exam, he can take the exam a few more times. Although he didn't say anything, the sad state of mind is still heart-warming. Sour hair."

"Yes!" Everyone couldn't help sighing.

Someone else scolded in a low voice: "Huang Wei is a bastard, isn't he occupying the latrine and not shitting, and he only fights against me and other reading seeds?"

"Hush... Brother Weng stop talking, Huang Wei is here."

"I'm afraid he will do something wrong. Everyone is a famous scholar. He bites me?" Hearing that Huang Wei had arrived, the scholar who had been scolding his mother before still had a look of resentment.

Although Huang Wei covered the sky with one hand in Hancheng, everyone was a famous scholar, but he was not afraid.

Hearing this, Gao Wen suddenly turned his head, and saw Huang Wei stumbling over with a test basket.

Huang Wei looked very tired today, obviously he didn't sleep well, his eyes were red.He bowed his hands to everyone: "It turns out to be brothers, I'm being polite."

Everyone didn't regard him as a serious scholar in their minds, and they all ignored him.

Huang Wei was very embarrassed, there was a fierce light in his eyes, red like a wolf.

I was about to explode, and then I remembered that this place is Shaanxi Gongyuan.And the people in front of him are all scholars, who are of the same status as him, but they are not ordinary people who he bullied in the past.

At this time, a person suddenly came forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Huang. The last time I mentioned the sentence, I didn't expect to meet you here again. Brother Huang is still as handsome as ever, haha, yesterday Haven’t slept well? You shouldn’t be too obsessed with things like imperial examinations. It’s like writing poems and essays. You’ve got time outside of poetry. Once you’ve acquired knowledge on weekdays, you can do whatever you want in the examination room. It’s useless to become popular. If you make yourself miserable, you won’t be able to write anything good.”

The sentient beings couldn't help laughing, everyone looked down on him for his deceitful demeanor and hated him for occupying the places in the scholar's exam, so they all looked at him sarcastically.

Huang Wei saw that it was Gao Wen who came, and his pupils shrank.

Gao Wen's words meant that he was secretly satirizing that he was already intimidated by the atmosphere of the big exam, and Huang Wei was a person who was used to prestige, so he was about to have a fit.But looking around, Gao Wen and the others stared at him with ironic eyes.But he was standing here alone, and he was used to hugging each other in the past.In this way, I feel that I am a person who has mastered the power.At this moment, without that group of subordinates, and falling into a group of scholars, I suddenly realized that I felt alone and helpless.

He was suddenly short of breath, paused, and said angrily, "Gao Wen, what does it matter to you whether I sleep well or not?"

Gao Wen: "It's really nothing to do with me, but ah, if you don't sleep well, you must fail the exam. Isn't this a waste of quota? If I had known this, I might as well not have come here in the first place."

Several Hancheng scholars looked down upon Huang Wei, so they all laughed at the same time.

Shi Linsheng is Gao Wen's future Taishan, and Gao Wen was framed by Huang Wei to such an extent that his daughter has not yet married into Gao's family.He also hated Huang Wei to the bone.

He is a person who is used to being arrogant, but he didn't even pay attention to Du Shenghui at the beginning.

Immediately spit out: "Mice, you have the nerve to rank with me and other gentlemen? The old man is ashamed to be with him!"

"That's right, that's right, why is there a villain here!" Everyone couldn't help taking a step back, distanced themselves from Huang Wei.

In this way, in the crowded small square, Huang Wei stood alone in the middle of a small open space.

The movement of the Hancheng students here immediately attracted the attention of other candidates in Xi'an Prefecture, and they looked over at the same time.

Huang Wei was ashamed by everyone, and his face turned pale with anger.He hadn't been in the circle of intellectuals for 20 years, so he couldn't bear it all of a sudden, and he was furious, and a roar came from his throat: "Gao Wen, are you sure that I, Huang Wei, won't pass the exam?"

Gao Wen said with a low smile: "Boss Huang, Master Huang. Gao Wen has given you a gift. He has been homeless for half a year. For the sake of his future, he has been studying hard day and night, and he dare not put down the scroll in his hand. As far as I know, Master Huang is in the county. Over the years, Ya has only cared about harming the common people and gaining benefits. In your house, there seems to be nothing but money. This time, the rural examination is one out of a hundred, and no one dares to say that he will win."

Huang Wei was so angry that he lost his composure, and said in a low voice: "Gao, what if I, Huang Wei, really win the exam? Hehe, when the time comes, I want to see what color your doggy face is? Tell me the truth. You, I will win this time, and when the time comes, I will set up a banquet in Hancheng to celebrate, Gao Wen, you are welcome to come! At that time, you only need to call Master Juren, and you will be indispensable for the red envelope."

What he said was vulgar, and all the scholars in Hancheng looked contemptuous on their faces.

Gao Wen raised his voice lightly, and said: "So Huang Wei, you have confidence, as long as you have confidence. Gao Wen doesn't understand, where does your self-confidence come from? Oh, yes, you are the master of our Han city." Bo, I have been in business for so many years, but I don’t know how many people I know on the scene. In this way, Gao Wen wishes you a high school success!"

As he spoke, he cupped his hands casually.

These words were insignificant, but it made all the examinees raise their vigilance and looked at Huang Wei at the same time.

Huang Wei suddenly felt something was wrong, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He said angrily, "Gao Wen, you tricked me... What a cunning villain!"

Gao Wen: "Whoever is a villain is a gentleman, everyone is watching!"
